    I will! I already ordered power pads for it (leg grips) and full motorcycle gear lol, I might be going a bit overkill out of the gate but better safe than broken.

      How hard are they to ride? The compactness and range of it looks kind of great but it seems like it would have a steep learning curve.

        Hey I just got it today and I put some baby-corner-protectors all over it to protect it from dropping. Turns out I didn’t need them because I didn’t drop it and was up and riding all around my block within an hour.

        It’s super fun. I just found a new passion.

        I think I probably picked it up faster than most people because of all my skateboarding. I feel like it uses similar balance, somehow (doesn’t make sense but trust me). But it truly doesn’t seem that hard. Just start out in a hallway until you have the basics down and then you’re off to the parking lot.

        Turning and starting are the hardest parts, but not very hard.

          Oh wow, really? I figured learning a unicycle would be totally different from skateboarding. Now I kinda want to try one out…

          Hope you’ll keep us updated. Happy riding and stay safe!

            Yeah it’s weird, I think it uses the same balance as when you balance your front foot while pushing on a skateboard.

            I wish I could call out of work and ride it more right now

      No such thing. In anticipation of my first EUC, I bought a Motocross Full Face Helmet to use on my e-scooter and I’ll be getting elbow/knee-shin protection as well.

        Nice, which helmet did you end up going with?
