High speed accident on a Designer Mercedes Smart eBike

[Smart eBiker]

I always slow down and take great care when dogs are near to the road or path i'm cycling on, i would be devastated to hit one.
Cats ?.... well they're fair game, i just wind on the power and aim for them.

The problem I have is with all the birds that flock around me when I'm riding it, its obvious that they can recognise class when they see it and want me to show them what I can do with it

Yes, i expect you do a lot of pulling.

I have a stunning wife so I don't participate in working class skulduggery

More importantly I hope that dog is OK

I hadn't seen the video. Hope the dog is ok too.

Still a nice bike though.

Have you got any photos of her? I'd like to endulge in a bit of.....ahem.......working class skulduggery.

I wondered about that too, also the speed doesn't seem right for a Smart bike, it must have been something really quick like one of these

As the smart bike is legal it is not capable of a high speed accident, all that happened is you nearly hit a dog and you should know better or you are not as smart as you allege to be. Shared path or not pedestrians /dogs will have the right of way albeit the dog should have been under its owners control.

You didn't say Mercedes once.

How on earth do you expect him to know the dog's name ??

It could have been Fenton!

You can have a high speed accident on a legal eBike.. the cut out for the power is 15.5mph, but you can still go a lot faster than than.

The problems with his statements are more to do with his use of terms like "designer" suggesting that other ebikes aren't designed they must just happen.

and "limited edition" suggesting that the fact that they have stopped production is a positive sign or that other products are produced in limitless numbers.

Or perhaps he's just a complete arse?

Limited edition =we know that most sensible people won't want to buy one.

The bike oozes class and unfortunately some people who are looking for eBikes seem to lack that, although there seems to be quite a few of these riff raff sort appearing on my threads

Maybe it's just me but where's the "high speed accident?"

)

I doubt if he got above 10mph.

Anyway shouldn't he have sounded his bell to give that poor pooch a chance?

 

[Nealh]

Bell !!! Get an Airzound just awesome .

 

[Smart eBiker]

I didn't sound my bell as I didn't want to startle the dog that was at the side, it just turned to cross in front of me speeding up as I approached, it is clearly the owners fault for not having the dog under proper control! Luckily I was and with my super brakes managed to stop with inly slight contact with my left foot or it could have been badly maimed at that speed.

You sound like the inspiration for a Karen Carpenter song.. but of course you may not be old enough to remember that.

The dog owner in my case could have faced this! Exactly what I said earlier, handler with no control of the dog!
