just shoot me if they are gonna take ma broad
I dunno if thereās a thread on here about āhow to behave in case of policeā could be useful, though.
This is what I do:
- low profile
- FOC mode on (in order not to make too clear yours is an e-board)
- choose wisely my route (avoid busy road, better alleys, bicycle lanes and so on)
- sidewalk is my friend (as soon as I see the police I lower the speed and get on it in order to āmimethizeā with the pedestians)
- in case of confrontation with the police (happened once) spare them the whole e-mobility (rightful) melodrama, be basic: got brakes, lights, helmet, was driving slow etc. They should understand you are no danger.
Well, Iāve been stopped by a policeman here in Milano, but he was really cool and just wanted to know about the board. He even tried it and told me if it could go faster (I run a 6s and a 245kv motor to a conservative 20-25 km/h max). Always wear a helmet and donāt behave like a stupid/disrespectful person. I tend to ride only on bike lanes when possible and if thereās no bike lanes on the sidewalks, very slowly. If thereās a lot of ppl on the sidewalk I lift the board and walk til I have free space ahead.
Heyy there!! Ahah never thought I could actually find some Italians here!! Iām from Trento, anyone nearby? Iāve never seen an e-rider around! I started to feel lonely!
