SanDiegoGuy Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Do you guys (or gals) consider riding the EUC a sport or just an activity? I also wonder what non rider think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyTop Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 It depends. If you are just putting around enjoying the scenery it is an activity. If you are out on the mountain bike trails trying to prove you can keep up with the bikes it is a sport. Learning to ride or keeping things challenging is also a sport.

LanghamP Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 For me, it went from sport, to activity, to almost entirely practical last-mile transportation. It went this way because I do not trust wheels to keep me upright, and therefore the concentration and tenseness makes riding wheels less enjoyable than it could be. A few crashes will do that to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LanghamP Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Perhaps not a hobby. Hobbies are something you do for fun that you spend money on. If you were to buy one wheel and use it even semi-often instead of your car, you'd break even fairly quickly. If you can replace your car with a single EUC (or an eBike) then your transportation bill is dramatically less. I can't think of any other hobby that you can use casually day to day that is cheaper in the long run, unless of course you go crazy and buy a bunch of wheels, but even then I know of car enthusiasts that spend way more than us and are strangely miserable.
