    Can someone eli5? Are people out there running over their own feet on razor scooters? Its difficult for me to imagine how that might be a common issue.

      If you lift it by the handlebars the platform is free to swivel around, the platform can swing unexpectedly fast, it prefers to be inside your ankle.

    I had a lesson in friction really early on in childhood trying to use this barefoot. Even braking at a super slow speed got that thing HOT.

        Yeah! The foot may be super complex, but it’s not durable AT ALL!!! It’s super ticklish! All you gotta do is strap someone down to their bed, and tickle their foot for like 2 minutes, and they’ll give you their bank account details!

        And if they don’t know their bank account number by heart, then I guess they’ll just have to get tickled…all…night…long!

        Hey, come lay on this bed for a second. I want to test these straps on you. What? No. Totally unrelated. Pinky swearsies.
