68mph E-Scooter - why? (electrek.co)

This scooter features dual 4000 watt motors and can achieve 60+ mph speeds straight and level. But why?

This speed is surely deadly in the event of a crash and it's hard to image it would even be fun to ride at such a speed.

You see this everywhere in all of the pevs. For some reason is speed = better. I don't think you should ride anything above 30 km/h (~19 mph) that has smaller wheels than a motorcycle, plus scooter joints can be very weak. I always try to drive where the speel limit is bellow 50 (~31 mph) if possible. Smaller roads are a lot more fun too. But I understand why ppl want to go full speed if the road is just a long straight line but the laws will be against us if we ride reckless (as in new laws against scooters).
