As I leaned over to my right to set the grocery bag down, I must've grabbed the throttle with my left hand.
It didn’t help that I had it set at 80hp !

Happened to me the other day, lean over to grab my helmet off the ground, my other sleeve must have caught the throttle and that thing just blasted out from under me like a rocket. Thank GOD I was in the sand, haha

This kind of thing happens a lot when people are new to electric bikes they just twist the throttle thinking it is not running because no engine noise, we had a few near miss's.
A guy from a shop was telling me they had a whole display wiped out because someone left a bike switched on.

Oh I'm not new to this bike (I have over 50 hours on it ! )
Just had a brain-fart and was being dumb !!
But yes, things like that do happen to the unaware.......
