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.

I still didn't take my e-bike from the old flat and I overslept so I drove by car :(.
Mass transit is not terrible here, but is twice as slow and I was already late. I promise I will do better tomorrow

I need to pull out my longboard(s)

I bought a new begode Falcon (with cryptocurrency on Ewheels.com) and this thing is a blast with the suspension. I changed the stock pads for these small pink ones.
It's got a nice simple design and is super easy to take apart. It goes about 25mph for 20-30 miles, same as my mten5.
I wouldn't recommend it as a first wheel though due to how high the pedals are. I think the mten5 or Future or A2 are better to learn on.
Is there any advantage to having higher pedals/footrests on these?
It makes it harder to hit roots and rocks while off roading, and you can turn sharper, but really no
In general the lower the pedals are to the ground the easier it is to ride and the more stable it is
The Falcon pedals here are quite high up and it makes it feel less stable. I would prefer them an inch or two lower
This guy with the deadly fender lol (I swear I'll remove it later, I don't want to get crippled)
I've been driving on account of injuries from a faulty Engwe EP2 Pro fender trying to kill me, but once I'm healed up I'll be riding again for sure. Fuck Engwe though!
Engwe's support sucks ass, never buying one again.
I'm removing my fender tonight. Thanks again for the warning!
Hope you heal up and can get back to riding soon!!
Thanks, me too! I miss it.
Riding my v11 unicycle one last time before I sell it because I own too many EUCs
It's a great commuter. Relatively waterproof, durable, goes 34mph, 30+ mile range.
I really just ride my mten5 or ex30 or motorcycle 95% of the time though
