micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

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 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.
