I was on travel to San Francisco last week, 20 mph down the Presidio through GGSP and I would have loved a helmet but I didn’t pack one in my carry on! You are really putting your life on the line without one - both from the flimsiness and speed of the device, and city roads and traffic. The people I saw with helmets clearly owned their scooters.

The scooter forces users to go 20mph? You’re talking about the stand on scooters not the mopeds right?

10mph is more than enough to kill you if you hit a curb.
