    Because they’re “self-propellent” or however you want to put it.

    Nothing like that here.

    Escoots and ebikes are limited to 25kmh per law, so they’re roughly equivalent to regular bikes.

    If its more than 25kg or can go faster than 25kph,you need to insure it. (somewhat new law)

    And everyone here is legally required to wear a bike helmet, but it’s not an enforced law.

    of electric scooter incidents lately.

    You guys don’t drink like northern Europeans

    Where I live you can’t get a DUI on a bike, no limit, but if you’re too drunk to be able to operate it while trying to operate it in traffic, you’re endangering others, which is a traffic violation and will possibly cause you to lose your licence.

    Or I mean, that used to be the case, actually, but now I suddenly recall it may have been amended in the past few years, entirely because of the rent-a-scoots, which are comparable to bikes and which everyone used to take home after bars. And still prolly do. Now they’ve limited the speed to 16kph at night though. Helps, some, I guess, but is really annoying if you’re sober and want to ride one at night.











  • “Aquaman”? No.

    “Mission Impossible”? Yeah.

    Depends entirely on how likely I think it is to be in any way realistic. Often I might check the time they’re underwater. 1-2min is still realistic, although very challenging for an average non-trained person. You can quite quickly train yourself up to a few minutes, some dude on YT tried went from 30s to about 4min.

    However it’s usually reliant on conserving oxygen, having a low pulse and no adrenaline etc. Quite the opposite of what is usually going on in movies like MI.
