This weeks joke

IMG_1382.jpeg This is the VIP lot, the one in the basement is crowded compared to this. Imagine parking a car in the city with no reverse on hills….. it’s not much different here. I’ve been in spots so tight that I can only get one foot down which makes it hard to get out against even a slight incline. And, God forbid, you knock somebody’s bike over….In Vietnam bikes are tools, not toys.

Where Reverse Mode Saves You in Vietnam
  • Escaping Packed Motorbike Parking: Motorbike parking lots in Vietnamese cities (like basements of Vincom malls, apartments, or street-side pavements) jam scooters tightly tire-to-tire. Once boxed in, pulling a heavy scooter backward out of a tight slot by your handlebars is physically exhausting. Reverse mode lets you simply back right out with zero leg strain. [1, 2, 3]
  • Navigating Inclined Basements and Alleys: Rolling backward down a steep underground parking ramp or a sloped driveway in Da Nang can easily cause you to lose your balance and drop the bike. Reverse mode backs up at a slow, electronically limited speed (around 3 km/h), providing full motor control without relying on gravity. [1, 2]
  • U-Turns in Tight "Hẻm" (Alleys): If you accidentally drive into a dead-end urban alleyway that is too narrow to turn around in, you don't have to get off and manually lift or drag the back of the bike. You can easily back out safely using the motor
