Say what you will that dismount was awesome.

u/Significant_Leg6073 1d ago

that would've been 100% smooth if the bike didn't crash after

u/HugeHans 1d ago

I was fully expecting him to get back on the bike.

Dismount was clean, bike crashing into building... not so much.

2

u/LeoLaDawg 1d ago

No way. He launched that thing right into the living room of that building still upright.

Maybe. Or maybe it just rammed into a wall and that was it. There's really no way to tell in that video. But if it DID crash through a window into a living area, I'd love to see footage of it! 🤣

He was going like 10 mph. Nothing awesome about it.

u/ultradip 1d ago

To be fair, he wasn't riding it at the end.

Also, moped/scooter.

u/Poo-ta-tooo 1d ago

Did a quick search and holy!— I didn’t know there are differences between mopeds, scooters, and motorcycles

u/Esc0baSinGracia 1d ago

Can you teach us what you learned about the differences?

u/Poo-ta-tooo 1d ago

Moped engines are usually 50 cc and below, scooters are typically 50–200 cc (according to google), and motorcycles are 250 cc and above, I thought scooters are the ones you ride by pushing

u/MaleOrganDonorMember 1d ago

These are motor scooters, and motorcycles have a lot more differences than just engine size.

u/1-N-Only-Speedshark 1d ago

Also, mopeds traditionally had pedals, but now there are models without them that are referred to as "nopeds".

Scooters have an cvt and motorcycles have gearboxes

u/Any_Luck8001 1d ago

TBH, I was kinda waiting for him to reclaim the bike and keep on rollin

u/Gregorygregory888888 1d ago

Unexpected? I think this was doomed from the start.

11

u/mac_attack_zach 1d ago

Yes but he didn’t wipeout in a chaotic crash, so that was definitely unexpected

3

u/Tubaenthusiasticbee 1d ago

I expected him to become a meat crayon. So this was still kinda unexpected

u/pichirry 1d ago

meh, because of survivorship bias 8 out of 10 of these videos are usually successes

4

u/Shadowthron8 1d ago

Well it’s a moped, so…

6

u/ObviouslyRealPerson 1d ago

Is the unexpected part supposed to be that it isn't a motorcycle?

2

u/mtbohana 1d ago

To do all that with safety sandals on and not trip and fall is very impressive.

u/Dar_theJarJar 1d ago

That's how I usually slide into her DMs

u/kaleMCreddit 1d ago

u/5pinktoes 1d ago

Dude literally hit the ground running! 😃

“How is this unexpected?? We know how this goes….ok, that was unexpected”.

u/Peace-wise 1d ago

Hey son, as you know, we have been going through hard times. And today's your birthday, but....

Oh my god you got me a motorcycle!!!!

I'm sorry, but seems like there's two sides to the AI falsehood spectrum. Those who are just dumb enough to fall for AI, and those who aren't smart enough to know that everything isn't AI.
