I have a surgery which will leave me unable to bike. I wasn’t yet told how much, they will tell me after the surgery. I had major zoomies today and I’m sad I won’t be able to zoomie for some time. I cycle everywhere, including to work, and I don’t work remotely, so I hope I get back to health in no time. I’m extending my empathy to other people who may not experience the zoomies, especially after learning one of my colleagues is not allowed to bike again after a surgery he’s had. :c
scooter can be cushioned but the road or the pavement stays what it is. The problem is the kick, not the stand.

You are correct that the kick is where the shock is. I think with proper technique like these videos demonstrate the shock is minimized and still less damage than pedalling when trying to heal if the surgery is on the ankle. Especially if you stick to kicking more one the non healing foot.
