So, I’ve been considering micromobility options recently to help me get out a little bit more and range better. My dog told me he’d appreciate it if I got out a little more on my off-days. I don’t know why he’s gotta be so judgy like that…

Anyways,

-Bike formats are out, it needs to be easier to transport and not take up that much space.

-Balance boards are cool, but I’m not sure that’s quite what I’m looking for either…

Electric skateboards, scooters, mountainboards, etc., what’s good? I’m drawn to the idea of electric boards with (potentially?) off-road capabilities. I’m a mountainbiker and often have access to excellent trails, so I like the thought of being able to ride on those too sometimes but my main uses would probably just be getting around town or going out on paved greenways.

Entry level would be good, I’m hoping for somewhere in the 500-1000 dollar range if it exists but if I have to pay more for something better then so be it.

Also, DIY solutions aren’t completely out of the question for me. I could see myself messing around with a build project if it strikes my fancy.

Thanks for any help, I’m looking forward to seeing what you all come up with!

    Several of my coworkers have balance boards, and they all love them. That being said, I’m still not sure they’re for me though. I think I’m just wanting something different.

    What kind of repairs have you had to do so far?

    I feel like I could definitely see myself rocking one of those. I really like the fat tires, those are sweet lookin’ B)

    Thanks for the link, and the feedback
