Man Rides Electric Scooter 65 MPH Down a Texas Interstate and Somehow Doesn’t Die

Only in Texas?

A recent video captured by Pyi Phyo shows a tall man riding what looks to be an electric scooter nonchalantly speeding through Amarillo, Texas. The fact that he is wearing zero protective gear (unless you count the closed-toe shoes) isn’t law-breaking in Texas. However, his speedy commute via the interstate is a major no-no.

The unidentified scooter rider is breaking more than a few Texas transportation laws, clearly.

That weren't too smart.
I didn't think one of those things was capable of such speeds. I wonder of he modified it somehow?

It's one of those brilliant ideas you think, until it isnt...

He appears to be heading towards California due to exit signs. Wendey's is on the right corner after the light and velaro on the corner at the light. IIRC taco bell is just passed Wendy's and McDonald's is north of Wendy's (next door).

Mr. Gunsngear?

Is that a phone carrier on his right shoulder? Could he have earbuds in ears? Is he listening to music? Is so, what song?
Probably something from WHAM!

That’s what my first thought was —“souped up.”

At least he was keeping up with traffic! Hopefully there aren’t too many potholes. I don’t he would fare very well! with thos little wheels!

Seems to be a fitting assumption:
