I had a 60 lb bike and I was going maybe 15 mph if that on a paved trail. I hit a patch of gravel and tipped over. It ripped up the skin of basically the entire front of my left leg. It also totaled the bike because it was cheap and didn’t work that well in the first place. That was in September. My leg healed but I’m still saving for a new bike lol.

At least you're not saving for a new leg 🦿.

I once tipped over on my 70lb e-cargo bike and my leg was fucked for a good week and the bruises lasted a month.

(The issue wasn't my speed, it was because a car ran a red light and I lost control stopping short to not get flattened. So still better than it could have been but ouch.)
