Helmet - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09HYKM33G

Knee Pads - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016U4R6II

Jacket - https://a.co/d/73gTSke

Gloves - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08T78BCZB

Anything else I need?

I feel pretty safe with all this but it still honestly scares the crap out of me riding at 30+mph with cars.

You have a good start.

Steel toe boots and motorcycle pants. Dress for a motorcycle.

    Those shoes have front protection. Strong anti-crush and road rash protection is what one needs.
    
    You are at a weird intersection in experience. I would treat a 30 mph device as a motorcycle.

It’s a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don’t be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
