Great video. I'm the same way with speed bumps. I'm not sure how to deal with them yet. maybe someone here could provide tips on how to go over speed bumps.

@mr-vince You go over them, the motor pushes you. It's that simple. Go slow so you don't nosedive.

@mr-vince I go over several speed bumps and speed mounds (the super-wide speed bumps NYC puts in school zones) daily on my commute.
I ride normally, then slow down right before I get to the bump. This raises the nose a bit in preparation of ascending over the bump. I also take some weight off my front leg and loosen my knees a bit.
Just practice, eventually it’s real smooth and you can do it without losing too much speed (assuming you’re riding reasonably in the first place between 13 and 15 mph). I wouldn’t advise taking a speed bump at speed if you’re already riding past the board’s limits at 20+ mph.
