So dangerous and inconsiderate of others what if a child was playing on the sidewalk or an old person came out a gate. Stay on the road where you belong
As someone who regularly rides an electric scooter (that can go ridiculously fast), I understand both sides. Any kind of personal wheeled conveyance, be it scooter, bike, one wheel, electric or not; it's a closer relative to a pedestrian than to a car. A bike is out of its league in the street, and I personally avoid riding in the street when I can, because I like living.
However, an e-wheeler hitting a pedestrian at speed will be comparable to a car hitting an e-wheeler. So you cannot go that fast on the sidewalk.
I pick bike lanes where they exist, because that's effectively what I ride. If there is no bike lane, I opt for the sidewalk, but I slow my ass way down if there are people around, because they don't have the road presence that I do (but I can lower myself down to their level). The street is my last choice because while I can physically keep up with traffic (my scooter specifically can), I do not have anywhere close to the safety or road presence of an actual car, and I CAN'T raise myself to their level. The road is therefore the most dangerous place for me to ride.
Riding a bicycle on a sidewalk/pavement at that speed is incredibly dangerous and shows a complete lack of consideration for pedestrians.What happens if someone suddenly steps in front of you?
Hopefully you don't end up as a skid mark on the road due to your reckless driving and failure to look while going through intersections while weaving between the road and the sidewalk.
Dude, I have been riding bikes for at least 60 years now. Be careful when passing cars to the right on the road. That is not the smartest thing to do. When you least expect it …
It's weird seeing someone in LA riding a bike on the sidewalk. Any other place, it's totally normal. But, in LA people are supposed to use the road for bikes. The neon gloves really stand out too. It says, 'Not really from here.' lol Im curious what else he is wearing. ^^Edit: I made my comment before reading the others. I see now that Im not the only one that thinks this is odd. lol

Why are you riding that fast on the pavement? You could 100% kill someone doing that.
Please hit me when you're tooling down the sidewalk that fast, would love a settlement from your insurance company.
The cops dont care about you riding your bike that fast through the streets? Is that registered? Looks cool tho
I thought you were gonna get robbed after she stopped you, almost felt like a setup. 😅
Pavements are for pedestrians not idiots on boosted E-Bikes!
Get on the road you grown ass child!
You’re a menace to the public!
your not supposed to rid your bike on the sidewalk man, especially going that fast…and bicycle riders wonder why some people hate them?
Poor girl 😢
So… nothing happened , wow
Jerk

What happens when a small child walks out from an opening on the sidewalk?
Get off the sidewalk
You are very reckless on that bike.
Don't go fast on a sidewalk. You and an innocent bystander will be sorry

The authorities have been alerted about this guy and don’t worry he will have to bike taken away is what I have been told
Is it legal to ride on the sidewalk? And what kind of bike is that?👍
You broke some rules and I did not see what happend.
And why are you on the sidewalk.
What did that lady at the beginning pick up and why?
What happened?
Peter Griffin really sending it

That's incredibly flat terrain. A tsunami would advance for dozens of km inland.
Driving that on the trottoir should be universally outlawed. You are a menace to society.

Where I live you can't ride bikes on the sidewalk.

One more jerk on an e-bike going too fast and ring where they shouldn’t. Why I despise e-bikes and their riders.
What’s also not smart is riding on the sidewalk with a motorized vehicle. It’s probably illegal. You should be riding on the street.
Is it legal to drive on the sidewalk with this fast vehicle?
What type of bike is that and where can I get one & how much are they?
is GTA 6 out? these graphic looks wild!
Please post the one where someone opens the door out onto the sidewalk!
Riding at that speed on a sidewalk is a shit head activity.
what a dumb video AND get off sidewalk!
A bicycle doesn't belong on a sidewalk. There you are, flying down the sidewalk on an ebike. WTF is wrong with you?
You should be riding on the street dude, it's illegal to be on the sidewalk
Well as long as you're having fun, nothing else matters. Right?
My aunt was struck at high speed by an e-bike on a sidewalk. She is permanently injured with blurred vision in one eye.
Why would you use the sidwalk ?

Land of fruits and nuts.
So what exactly did happen, seemed like nothing out of the ordinary to my eyes but then I do need glasses!
Speeding down a sidewalk on a e-bike is not very smart.
