Nope! I ride that bridge, Chitty Chatty, everyday on a non-electric trike. I know what the speeds look like. While I can't haul my trike up the bridge that fast, I can go down the bridge as fast as any golf cart, but usually don't. The video shows me that the bike rider was probably braking on the way down and didn't get any faster than about 15 mph. He was likely at 15 or less when the cart driver cut the corner.

The ONLY thing wrong here was the cart driver cutting the corner.
