Mates kid brought a cheapie one in for a quick cable repair, limited to 10kph, how dangerous could it possibly be!!!?????* 10KPH is ridiculous slow, but the kid is under 10, so parents turned it down to its minimum.
*Twice nearly smashed into parked cars when turning . Turns out if you hold the throttle down for more than 20 seconds it just stays wide open like some kind of 'cruise control', so a quick u turn in the road turned into a shit shit shit moment as it tried to power on. Not sure if defective or its some kind of customization , but caught me out for sure.
