Social media fame has become one of the biggest reasons for mishaps these days, with people doing almost anything for likes. A recent viral video is a testament to this trend. We've seen videos where people drive their cars into lakes in Ladakh or other places, but this video takes it to a new level: a man drove his electric scooter into the sea! Yes, you heard it right. In a viral video, a man took his electric scooter into the middle of the ocean.

The video was shared on multiple social media platforms, and one thing users are praising is the concern for safety. The man was seen wearing a helmet while driving the scooter in the ocean. At one point, the scooter became imbalanced, but he didn’t stop and continued his voyage. After being completely submerged in the water at one stage, he saw a big wave coming straight at him, took a U-turn, and fell. He picked up his scooter, untangled his legs, and drove back to the beach.

The man's face was unclear and blurred, making it unrecognisable due to the helmet. The video's location is also unclear, but it appears to be from a coastal area in India.

Check out the viral video:

The video was shared on social media a few weeks ago and has garnered 1.5 crore views so far, with the numbers still increasing.

Users' reactions to the post:

“Now he will fight for battery warranty,” said one user.

“Ocean had given another chance, use it,” wrote another.

“It must be his friend’s scooter.”

“Dude, if he hadn't seen the traffic police in the middle of the ocean, he would have definitely crossed it.”

“Reason why girls live longer.”

Some people also suggested it was a marketing stunt by the company.
