Sophia Bush exclaimed, “Nooooo! You poor babe,” while Julianne Hough pointed out, “That’s my girl! 🫠Obviously wouldn’t make jokes if you were not ok…”

"Not the neck!" chimed in someone else.

Another fan added, "Where are Damon and Stefan at!"

However, a social media user said, "Need speed limiters to 15 mph. Riders think they don't have to stop but others do."

The same idea was propagated by another user, who said, "Those things are seriously fast no e-bike should be able to go 85mph.."

"Is it not about time for people to realise that the e-bike is a death trap. There are more accidents since the sales of this riding trend than when the bicycle was invented," said someone else.

Another fan advocated for wearing helmets, saying, "They go fast. You should wear protection like in a motorbike!!"
