For me I’ve been riding my new mten5 around a lot. It gets about 20 miles of range and will happily cruise at 20mph (max is somewhere over 30).

I also have an ebike, escooter, and 3 other electric unicycles (EUCs) but this little ripper has been my favorite this week.

    I’m sorry to hear that! So the front locked up and you had a highside crash? That’s my greatest fear on my ebike (heybike ranger s) and my motorcycle (suzuki gs500). I hope you heal up and can get back to riding soon, and I’m glad you’re still alive and coherent

    And that really sucks that Engwe didn’t care

      Yeah, my helmet probably saved my life. RIP in peace Bell Super Air R, you were a good helmet.

      Quality fenders will have some sort of emergency breakaway in case something fails but cheaper ones that are all metal lack this basic safety feature. You can create your own breakaways by replacing the bolts with some 5-10 lb zip ties that will break and throw the fender instead of you.

        Bell Super Air R is such a good helmet, great choice

        I have a similar helmet that I wear when going from 20-30mph from Smith, anything faster and I use my sedici motorcycle helmet
