Good to know! I was glancing at that!

@Hellkitten Yeah... I've already been looking at an Mten or something similar to get me to and from the corner store. haha... And thank you for the words of encouragement!

You were right... Interestingly though, it seems that the KS S16's pedals are more forward than centered so when I centered my feet on the pedals, it helped. Then I couldn't brake as well. That said, the S16 came with jump pads, so when I put those on, my braking ability came back. Maybe King Song knew this when they threw them in the box. 100% this. I didn't realize how long I was riding in one stretch. I actually looked at my ride statistics and I'm on the wheel for about an hour a trip. Prior to this post, I was only doing like 30 minute sessions. Taking a walking break helped. The S16 is a fantastic wheel! I have no basis for comparison, so I get why people review it and are like "this doesn't ride like a Lynx, so it needs work". A beginner isn't worried about that stuff. My concerns were, "is it fun, does it look cool and will I die on it." I just wanted a fun way to get around town that I didn't feel like I would want to replace in a month. At first, I thought, "There is no way they are marketing this to newbs, it weighs a ton!" But that feeling went away pretty quickly. Ironically, I think I want to get a smaller wheel for quick store errands. But I suppose the reason there are so many wheels and people have so many of those wheels is that no one ever really knows what they need. But I'm pretty sure of one thing, the S16 is a large wheel for my needs for the foreseeable future... I hope they make more and better smaller wheels soon.

Hello all... Just finished my 6th EUC session, and while my reaction time is still a bit sluggish, I'm starting to feel comfortable enough with the roads around here that I'm feeling that I may commute home from work this weekend. That said, I'm having a terror of a time understanding what I need to set up and what I don't in the app. I figured out the speed limiter, but should I be setting alarms or anything else safety related in the app before I start using this to replace my vehicle? I'm keeping my speed at 15 for now, but I'm sure that won't last forever. The other thing I was curious about, if I may be so bold as to waste everyone's time with two questions, is why would I want to set a different pedal angle? Is it comfort-related or control-related? My feet cramp up a bit and was curious if pitching the wheel a few degrees forward would help that or if there is something else I should consider. And... Thank you all. Not just for helping answer this question, but all the questions I didn't have to ask because this place existed!
