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.

I will! I already ordered power pads for it (leg grips) and full motorcycle gear lol, I might be going a bit overkill out of the gate but better safe than broken.

No such thing. In anticipation of my first EUC, I bought a Motocross Full Face Helmet to use on my e-scooter and I'll be getting elbow/knee-shin protection as well.

Nice, which helmet did you end up going with?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alpinestars 5M5 with 100% goggles.

I've been helmet shopping

How hard are they to ride? The compactness and range of it looks kind of great but it seems like it would have a steep learning curve.

I'll let you know when it gets here on Monday. But it really doesn't seem that bad:

Yeah, I feel like I'd kill myself trying to ride an EUC haha. I kind of want to get a Monowheel but they are expensive: For that much I would probably just get a nice ebike.

https://youtu.be/mqrG2bk7eBc one of these?

Lol I can't help but think about that episode of south part where the teacher invents one of these.

I bet it's fun though
