An E-scooter rider crashed into a lamppost after trying to balance with no hands on a busy main road.

The man in blue shorts and a top appeared to be showing off with both arms free as he sped along on the device.

He was videoed by another road user waving and gesturing at pedestrians.

But the short clip ended with the hapless rider coming a cropper and crashing into a lamppost.

Despite it looking like a painful smash, he saw the funny side and smiled at the person videoing as they passed him.

It happened at the junction of the A107 and Tudor Road in Hackney, London, as reported by Need To Know.
