    I gotta say, I don’t think they look bad. I think chooch looks awesome when he rides, check out the video I linked.

    Practically speaking I don’t usually take my fast wheels. Usually I take my mten5 around with just a helmet and some small kneepads and gloves.

    It’s stupidly powerful for how tiny it is. Easy to carry by the handle. Easy to trolley. And gets me 20 miles of range.

      oh that is handsome. but I’m more interested in what a person looks like on it. it’s more about the awkward sort of stiff lean that your have to do on them. i just can’t see that and not think it looks a bit goofy.

        I don’t really care if anyone thinks I look goofy, I look great to my eyes. It feels like flying
