I discovered EUCs by accident while looking up info on scooters. I bought a Gotrax GXL scooter after riding Birds and loved how quickly you could cover lots of miles effortlessly. Then I stumbled upon EUCs and thought wow, they look like even more fun to ride. Because I had previous experience riding a unicycle, I figured I could learn fast, so I bought an Inmotion V8 and it's been the most rewarding purchase I've made in a very long time. I ride everyday and find excuses to go places just to ride. Addicting.
Pros:
-Extremely compact compared to bikes, scooters, etc... I take mine with me every day in the trunk of my car just in case I want to go ride and explore.
-Great Versatility. Ride slow and controlled on sidewalks to blend with pedestrians and fast on streets when needed. On road, off road, etc... Trolley effortlessly through stores.
-More fun than any other type of ride I know of.
-Excellent Range. Even my V8 can do about 20 miles give or take at my weight of 215
Cons:
-Can probably get hurt pretty bad due to high speed capability
-All are made in China and in there is fear of reliability causing cut-outs, fire or other malfunctions.
-Even after getting used to it and riding 100+ miles, feet get numb/sore eventually.
-No real exercise even though you feel like you were doing a lot of riding all day
-Not great for wet conditions, cold weather (battery), snow & ice. Wish I lived somewhere warmer to ride all year around.
