Hi folks,

Could you list our new FB group as well? I just started a new group for PEV riders around the Helena, MT area. We need some local community happening around here! It would be great to organize local group rides and all the rest. Thanks!

BIG SKY GLIDE, Helena, MT    https://www.facebook.com/groups/bigskyglide

Added. =)

can you add arizona's discord link, for those who don't do facebook.

Thank you

I have added your link at your request. Personally I just hope this doesn't become a thing as IMO it's the wrong direction for successful local group curation.

Unsolicited opinion: I'm a gamer and huge user of Discord (literally every day), but frankly I think it's the wrong tool/poorly suited for providing the two main functions of an online presence for something like this--baseline info on the group & scheduled upcoming events, and discoverability for potential new members. This is not to defend/advocate for Facebook, but then there are a dozen other online tools I would use before Discord for this--even as simple as one of the many free website creation tools. (Of course one could link to a Discord from there which might be a fine addition for members to chat whenever or to coordinate rides in realtime through the phone app without having to exchange contact info; I just think it's poorly suited as a primary web presence for a successful group.)

@AtlasP we've got a few groups in the central Florida area as well that are friendly to all PEV's and are mostly euc and onewheel riders if you'd like to list them:

 

Tampa, FL: Tampa Float krewe https://www.facebook.com/groups/269390693635890/?ref=share

St Petersburg, FL: St. Pete Float Fleet https://www.facebook.com/groups/677428672805151/?ref=share

Orlando, FL:

 Orlando Onewheel 

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1634099800060682/?ref=share

And EUC Orlando: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2301725473273584/?ref=share (edit: NVM, somehow missed that this one was already listed)

There's a weird slippery slope where obviously there are many more OneWheel groups (where an EUC rider /may/ be welcome) and if we started including them they would completely take over the list. (Which would undermine the spirit and theme of our list.)

To be extremely clear: I'm not against groups that feature OneWheels among their riders or even in their title, but where I have currently been drawing the line is when they *only* have "OneWheel" in the name (a la "Orlando OneWheel") and/or when the name is entirely centered on what is clearly OneWheel-specific marketing jargon (re: "float" this or that). If this is something that you have any influence over and/or that might matter to you, I would encourage you to push for such groups to at least append/include other PEVs (esk8, EUC, etc) to their name and/or even just the term "PEV" itself to their name.

Rochester, NY, USA

Electric Skateboard Riders Rochester NY

https://www.facebook.com/groups/esk8roc

It's 90% EUC riders and is the main riding group in the city. When it's not winter up here we do weekly Saturday group rides and there's always random pick-up rides throughout the week.

I read that you're not a big fan of Discord, but I think Discord could be a tool for the first steps towards a bigger Facebook group by having a handful of people connect to each other first.

Europe, EUC Latvia - Facebook group: https://facebook.com/groups/euclatvia/ or Discord server: https://discord.gg/WKm9bVgchZ
 

EDIT: Ah, right, you only add already existing bigger size groups, sorry. At least the comment might catch someone's eye.

Hey all! noticed our local group - DC EUC Collective isnt part of the list.

We have a group of over 300 people in our local telegram group and do daily or weekly group rides. We have people from DC, Maryland, Virginia come out regularly. 

We are most active on our telegram and post our rides there regularly.

Hope to ride with yall soon!

We've had a few spin off groups that wanted to ride faster than the Tampa/St Pete one wheel groups. Both have scheduled weekly rides as well as random rides.

These are both within the Tampa/St Pete FL area and are faster/further rides than the Tuesday Tampa float krew & Thursday St Pete float fleet ride:

Palmetto lithium cartel - weekly rides every Wednesday evening: https://t.me/LithiumRiders

Gulfport EUC riderz - weekly rides every Friday evening: https://t.me/EUCRiderz | https://m.facebook.com/groups/636912341170080/?ref=share&mibextid=DcJ9fc
