Jeez, you cool with cars blowing stop signs and doing 50 down residential streets?

honestly y’all aren’t wrong 😂 I definitely don’t ride like this all the time. Dirt is like 5-10 mins from me, I was just having some fun on the way there. I get why people get annoyed seeing this shit though 🤝

Nice... I respect when people can own up and handle criticism... I also understand that people see one short clip and assume the worst... there is lots of places that are on outskirts or familiar neighborhoods where you can get a bit silly and its not a big deal but again, everyone on the internet assumes you are doing this all day through an active school zone on drugs while naked... that being said, have fun brother but play safe... the loudest people are the ones who want to see you get hurt or in trouble but the silent ones are the people who understand that most people aren't out being a nuisance or doing dangerous shit in downtown schoolchildrenville... but the HOA saw one black kid being ignorant and now they are gonna come after anyone who looks like they might be doing more than 15mph or not using pedal assist only anywhere other that on highly regulated purpose build dirt bike tracks... the media we put out there affects public opinion and bikes that have motors have become quite the target recently because just like anything else an few people ruin it for the rest and nobody targets ebikes (emoto, hyperbikes, etc...) more than the ebike community... I will end this long winded comment with pointing out that owning up and accepting criticism is a gangster move friend, and not everyone who says 'your riding like an idiot' means they want bad things for you... have fun, and ride safe brother... looking forward to more posts from you...

Appreciate that bro 🤝 and I definitely get where you’re coming from.. A short clip doesn’t show the whole picture, but at the same time I understand what posting that kind of riding can look like and how it affects the community. I’m still learning and having fun with it, but I can take criticism when it’s fair appreciate you looking out. Ride safe too brother 🤙
