A rider on a personal mobility device (PMD) was seen attempting to outride a motorcycle along a road in Singapore before crashing and falling off his ride.

Footage of the incident was uploaded to the Roads.sg Facebook group.

The duo were apparently racing along the West Coast Highway beside McDonald's West Coast Park.

What did the video show?

The video was filmed by the motorcyclist keeping up with the PMD rider.

The in-video caption read, "Racing with bike...", and the footage showed the PMD overtaking the motorcycle on the left-most lane.

At one point, the motorcyclist switched lanes from the middle to the left-most lane to tail behind the PMD rider.

The PMD rider could be seen turning back to look at the motorcyclist.

A few seconds later, the PMD rider fell forward after the PMD appeared to hit a bump on the road.

The motorcyclist had to swerve slightly to the right to avoid running over the fallen PMD rider.

The PMD rider and motorcyclist were travelling at slightly more than 40kmh, based on the time taken to cover the distance they did.

Responses

Many commenters on the video were unsympathetic to the PMD rider, noting that he had been riding at a high speed and that he was not wearing a helmet.

Others said any injuries he sustained might have taught him a hard lesson about his dangerous antics.
