>car drivers don’t expect you to be going that fast and as a result aren’t wired to look for you That's why I use hi vis jackets and reflective motorcycle helmets. I am not going like a run of the mill bicylist. I use all terrain tires, I never had an issue and I am certainly not the only one that uses motorized bikes like this, in Argentina and Brazil for example, there are lots of people using them daily for their commute and nothing really happens.

>If you do happen to get off at 60 km/h you will have road rash that will take off large chunks of skin even if you wear an armored jacket and armored gloves Wouldn't that happen with a motorcycle too? I don't see your point
