The scooter's speed is determined by how far forward the user leans, and if the rider leans too far forward, it pushes them back to keep the device at its maximum speed of 12.5 mph. The problem happens if the rider then steps off the device and then gets back on it quickly.

The injuries included broken teeth, a broken wrist and facial injuries including one that needed surgical repair. Ничего, на них кроме ментов все равно никто не ездит.
