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.
For me I've been riding my new mten5 around a lot. It gets about 20 miles of range and will happily cruise at 20mph (max is somewhere over 30).
I also have an ebike, escooter, and 3 other electric unicycles (EUCs) but this little ripper has been my favorite this week.
I have only ridden my bike, a longboard, and a skateboard. No electric so far lol
Here's the boards:
I love those! Drop through longboards are so comfy, but the maneuverability of a kick tail cruiser is nice too
Yeah, I'm still getting the hang of longboarding but it rolls for days!
I gave up on trying to commute with mine and switched back to my street board. Same for the Shakedown. They're both too carvey, I need to tinker with them more. My old board is pretty dialed in though.
Does everyone have a shakedown?
I put 95A bushings in mine, tightened them down to about 2.5-3 threads, added extra shock risers, and waxed the cut outs. I still get a bit of wheelbite but I really have to lean into it and when it happens it only kinda slows down.
You might have to try out different bushings but I'm right around 210-220 lbs to give you a frame of reference. My least favorite part of the board is that my foot hits the rear wheel when I push because it sticks out beyond the board.
Yep. It's not my favorite board, looks beautiful though.
I have both of those boards haha. The longboard is super carvey and pushes well but kinda sucks on hills (or at least I'm not good with it on hills).
The Shakedown has been giving me a lot of wheelbite though, I have been very frustrated with mine despite it being a beautiful board. Going to get some harder bushings and maybe a riser and see I guess.
