In the 51-seconds video, a young man can be seen riding a self-balancing electric scooter amid heavy traffic. As the video moves further, the man can be seen maneuvering through traffic.
While sharing the video, Goenka said, "This is what I need to travel in my crowded city. So cool!" Although many loved the idea of having a personal transporter like the one in the video, few raised questions about its safety while using it in heavy traffic. Several others said that the man in the video wasn't wearing any safety gear, including a helmet.

The video has so far collected over 90,000 views and about 6,000 likes. Hundreds of users took to the comments section to share their views. One user said, "I'm with the safety vote. Terrifying!" while another wrote, "Don't forget to put on your helmet and other protective gears. The guy is not using." One comment read, "How is he balancing?"
Here's how netizens reacted:
Those scooters hv been operational in the US for a while. They can be really unsafe...more unsafe than bicycles because of where vehicles hit the riders. Riders also rarely wear helmets. If they zip and weave through traffic, they're also likely to slow it down for everyone else

Don't forget to put on your helmet and other protective gears. The guy is not using. ðÂu00c2u009fÂu00c2u0098Âu00c2u008aðÂu00c2u009fÂu00c2u0098Âu00c2u008aðÂu00c2u009fÂu00c2u0098Âu00c2u008a
What I really liked about this video is the polite tone and appreciation. Very very rare thing to see when someone is filmed on a street for something different. ðÂu00c2u009fÂu00c2u0098Âu00c2u008a

Well, Personally I feel its better to walk or cycle down to your workplace rather than being this lazy. ðÂu00c2u009fÂu00c2u0098Âu00c2u0089
