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.

High car prices have pushed people towards to the micromobility sector, where much smaller vehicles offer greater flexibility for a fraction of the cost.

They make a version with two parallel wheels that is supposed to me more stable and easier to ride. I'm pretty curious about it.

I have it. It's ok for learning. I would recommend a v8s though for something that you won't get immediately bored with.

$650 if you use coupon code HAPPYINMOTION

I find that 15mph is a good sweet spot, and the v8s can easily do that for 20 miles.

The e20 tops out at 12.5mph and is hard to turn with.
