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 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.
