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.

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.
