Today's (typical) bad idea... saw a 14 or 15 year old kid on the back of an e-moto with his friend (in a car turn lane 😱) , and his friend took his helmet OFF strapped it to the handlebar. And they were trying to go down a very, very, very busy street with no bike lanes and 50mph car traffic. On the plus side, it appears they had run out of battery and his friend was furiously pedaling and not getting any acceleration at all, I suspect they're pushing the thing on a sidewalk by now. #emoto
