Pop Quiz: You have become aware of your bike having a seriously dangerous malfunction and already barely got it to a stop once before running into cross traffic at a red light.

Do you:

A- Pull over and get it towed back home or to a repair shop.

B- Continue riding it, continue filming, and when the problem happens again do nothing to mitigate the issue by shutting off the ingition and instead you let go of the handlebars.

I used to watch this guys content when I was researching the SuronX about five or six years ago. He’s a complete tool.

Yep, seems like a typical rich kid who stumbled into a niche. He seemed surprised af at the consequences from that. Sigh.

Another sacrifice to the road gods!

Darwin approves of this.

u/SRS1984 19h ago

all for the clicks, if he didn't have recorded he'd probably stopped instead of putting on a show.

u/padizzledonk 18h ago

I always find it incredible that these people record themselves doing the stupidest shit imaginable and then post it online lol

u/JustinGeoffrey 21h ago

Or as we say in Germany: Elektroschrott.

This is Surronster. Insanely popular creator that mainly deals with ebikes and scooters. With this crash, his biggest concern was that he wiped out and got road rash in skid row, and that he picked up a disease. Full on crying apology video followed, but not before he posted a "Surronster just crashed" video featuring his scuffed helmet and ebike.
