Average Walking Speed: 2.8 mph x 2.5 = 7mph

You know someone is just going to absolutely take it on the chin the first time literally any surface imperfections present themselves. Like, you know, anywhere you might be walking. With your feet. Unbelievable.

The fact that cracked sidewalks is considered “rough terrain” in any context is hilarious

I actually found it encouraging that they called that out specifically, though, because it’s actually one of the more dangerous cases for smaller wheeled vehicles. Deep gravel will make my scooter useless, for example, but big cracks have flipped me forward and over the handlebars more than once.

I've been to a lot of "rough urban terrain" and I'm going to tell you, it gets a lot tougher than some gravel and cracked sidewalks.
