Miami never disappoints, and a new viral post from the Instagram account 'Only in Dade' confirms it once again.
In the video, recorded from a moving car, a young man can be seen riding what appears to be a city highway on an electric scooter... loaded with nothing more and nothing less than six boxes of Corona beer.
Dressed in sportswear with a backpack slung over his shoulder, the protagonist improvises an illegal delivery vehicle that has taken social media by storm. Beyond the clear traffic violation, users have quickly turned him into a weekend hero.
"He's not the hero we asked for, but he is the one we need," commented one. Another dubbed him "the Beerlord of Biscayne," while someone else had a clear insight: "When the clock strikes 5 p.m., you become the captain of the moment."
Some even joked about sending ice to him or following him to the party. Others, more concerned, did not overlook the fact that the video was recorded from a car with a noticeably cracked windshield: "Are we going to ignore that huge crack in the glass?"
The scene is a perfect reflection of the irreverent and festive lifestyle that characterizes many in South Florida. Although this express delivery could have legal consequences, the weekend spirit, beer in hand, seems to have overwhelmingly triumphed in the comments.
As another user rightly said: "Miami remains undefeated."
It's not the first time: Electric scooters as extreme transportation in Miami
This unusual episode adds to a growing trend in Miami: the use of electric scooters in situations that border on the reckless or simply absurd.
In April 2024, a couple was spotted traveling on an electric scooter heading to the beach, him without a shirt and her carrying even a folding chair.
In January of the same year, a woman surprised everyone by traveling alone on a highway on an electric scooter. And in October 2023, another striking scene showed two people traveling together through the city streets with a carefree and daring attitude.
These incidents, although anecdotal, highlight the lack of controls in the use of these devices on highways, as well as the ingenuity (and sometimes irresponsibility) of those who utilize them as an alternative means of transportation.
