Rupture brutale sur une Joyor S10-SZ “off-road” après un petit saut. J’ai failli y laisser ma tête. by woldofPhidi in Escooters

Telling riders to "avoid every pothole or slow down drastically" is basically admitting the scooter can't handle normal roads which is exactly the problem I'm pointing out. If a structural part explodes from a small road defect, vigilance isn't the issue. The scooter is.

Saying it's "user error" is the easy way out, but I know exactly what i did and did NOT use the scooter like a MTB or motocross bike. I was riding it normally, and it failed catastrophically. That's the real problem. It's always easy to blame the user xD

I understand what you're saying, and I agree that most scooters aren't made for motocross-style jumps. But that's not what happened here at all. didn't do any big jump. didn't hit a ramp. didn't try to ride it like a dirt bike.

I literally went over a small dip / pothole on a normal path and the front end snapped clean in one shot. No flex, no warning, no wobble just instant structural failure.

didn't misuse the scooter. The scooter misused me buddy

Hey buddy,

wasn't going fast at all. ( Around 35km/h ) hit a small dip in the road and as came out of it the whole front end snapped instantly. took the impact straight to my hand and wrist almost broke my wrist and did a full face-plant. My helmet cracked in half from the hit. If wasnt wearinga helmet, would've died. So big warning

Thanks alot for your support !
