Very cool wheel. Interesting to see another 134V non-suspension wheel. There does exist the 134V RS that I would say fills the same void of wheels that exists today. Doubt we will ever see anything like this be officially release though, suspension is the future!

What a outstanding (stupid) performance!
Absolutely no respect for other people.
"I'm shaking"  mixed with some monkey music....
Shouldn't be commenting on this at all but I'm getting so
angry I can't help it. Hope someone sees this comment and
passes it on. Fortunately, I live in highly taxed Denmark
and am not yet burdened by types like these, but in the long
run these kind of people will probably have the pleasure
ruined for the rest of us.

Should read : Worlds dumbest and most inconsiderate imbeciles endanger a bunch of people whilst setting back the EUC community years of trust.

About the only thing missing was the morons yelling "STRAVA!" as they passed anyone.

THAT would make that video complete.

Absolute assh**es. Painful to watch. Selfish, ignorant, entitled, the list goes on. Will spoil it for the rest if allowed. Let’s hope they’re stupidity results in less than positive outcomes in the inevitable crash

I enjoy some speed and adrenaline, having a race seems like a cool thing to do.  All you really need is to find an appropriate place where there are no other people around to have that race. Around pedestrians and cyclists I always drop my speed down, just in case someone moves the wrong way. At high speed it would be really hard to avoid a collision and a collision at high speed could result in serious injury or worse - no one wants something like that to happen.  When there are people walking including children and sometimes dogs too, I'll usually slow to less than 10kph to make it easy to stop or turn sharply to avoid hitting people.

Content creators should especially be aware of the dangers of setting a bad example and find appropriate places to video high speed riding and stunts, well away from the general public.  A quiet street could make a good location for a speed run, a busy footpath definitely would not.

Old story, but same scene.   After the ride one of the "specialists**  in the video" concludes, "i was hitting 44 mph"

Jill Tarlov dies after cyclist Jason Marshall hit her in Central Park, New York

https://www.news.com.au/world/north-america/jill-tarlov-dies-after-cyclist-jason-marshall-hit-her-in-central-park-new-york-last-week/news-story/8a6ff3c9f6094d0a46c065001826675e

"Hours before the deadly crash on West Drive near 63rd Street, Marshall did 51.8 kilometres of predawn cycling and hit speeds of up to 57.3 kph – well above the 40 kph limit for bikes and cars.

Police couldn’t immediately determine the exact speed Marshall was traveling when he slammed into Tarlov.

Witnesses have said Mr Marshall was going fast and tried to swerve around Tarlov rather than brake, moments before the deadly crash, law enforcement sources said."

Update on the hit and run death of actress, Lisa Banes, in NYC.

She died on 14 June, 2021, ten days after being struck.

The offender, Brian Boyd, was sentenced on 30 November, 2022.

Scooter Driver Who Struck and Killed Actress Gets Up to 3 Years

Brian Boyd, who fatally hit Lisa Banes on a Manhattan crosswalk, tried to explain his actions in court, angering the judge.

“I did beep my horn,” he said.

 

A State Supreme Court judge on Wednesday sentenced a scooter driver to as much as three years in prison for fatally hitting an actress, Lisa Banes, after the man tried to avoid blame for the accident following an earlier admission of guilt.

Brian Boyd, 27, attempted to claim in court — contrary to his September guilty pleas for manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident — that he had not acted recklessly in June 2021 when he ran a red light and struck Ms. Banes on a West 64th Street crosswalk.

 

“I did beep my horn,” Mr. Boyd said. “I did slow down.”

Angered, Judge Gregory Carro reminded Mr. Boyd that after finding and leaving Ms. Banes lying face down and bleeding on the pavement, he immediately drove four miles north to a Harlem shop that repaired his electric scooter while he drank a Heineken beer.

 

Assistant District Attorney Erin LaFarge said that Mr. Boyd had deserved more prison time.

She said Mr. Boyd’s attempt to rescind his plea showed that he refused to acknowledge his recklessness or show remorse.

She reminded Judge Carro that a year before fatally striking Ms. Banes, Mr. Boyd crashed a Revel electric moped that he was driving without a license, seriously injuring himself and his girlfriend.

“He has not learned anything from this experience, and that is a terrifying thought,” said Ms. LaFarge.

 

Judge Carro said that he wanted a sentence that might act as a “general deterrent” to careless drivers.

“This city obviously has a problem with unlicensed scooters,” he said. “This is what happens when you recklessly drive those pretty powerful new motorbikes.”

However, he said he would honor the terms of Mr. Boyd’s plea agreement.

 

He asked if Mr. Boyd had anything to say:

“I’m extremely sorry,” Mr. Boyd said. “I don’t really have the words except ‘I’m sorry.’”
