so basically my boss got asked to offload this thing for a friend of a friend which sometimes happens and i don't mind... whatever. it's always good shit. i post a craigslist ad and it's gone in a week or two.
so they said it was broke/didn't work etc. they just weren't turning it on properly. so i took it for a test ride.
i have no idea about anything about any of these past me just figuring out how to turn it on yesterday and how to ride it.
i liked how intuitive it felt. there are five modes for riding, one feels like it's barely helping you then up to five where it feels crazy to pedal and have it assist... or you can just ride it like a straight up dirtbike and throttle on the thumb/twist only.
i have literally 0 things to compare it to other than a legit gas powered scooter or a fucking bicycle.
i really think it'd just be another fun activity for my daughter and i to be outside... toss her in a baby seat and just mow down miles on a bike path/around town whatever.
i think a HUGE benefit of these would be a lot of BLM property out west that has been shut down to motorized vehicles but still allows bicycles/walking/horses... like fuck i could go so much further, silently.
this is also the first fat tire anything ive ever ridden... i aired them up to 28lbs cuz it says max 30 and it's not like im thrashing it on a beach or in 3' of snow sooo i figured that made sense. a lot of shooting from the hip here.
