68mph E-Scooter - why?

E-scooter at highway speeds? ZonDoo’s 8kW RoadHitter lives up to its name

https://electrek.co/2023/07/06/e-scooter-at-highway-speeds-zondoos-8kw-roadhitter-lives-up-to-its-name/

The fastest electric scooter in the Zondoo lineup is the RoadHitter, which claims 68 mph with 70-80 miles of range.

This scooter features dual 4000 watt motors and can achieve 60+ mph speeds straight and level. But why?

This speed is surely deadly in the event of a crash and it's hard to image it would even be fun to ride at such a speed.

You would definitely need to wear motorcycle gear for that, but I'm not sure if it's inherently more dangerous than one.

The most dangerous aspects of it are probably the small tires, and oddly enough, it's low speed. On higher speed zone highways, being limited to ~70 can be a real liability.

Agree with all of this. I'll also add that it most definitely is fun at those speeds. But also dangerous, ofc.

Ride safe.
