How many of us are there?

Great story!  I have to share it on my blog for Polish community. This year we don't have any winter here, but it's the same with me - I ride everyday in every conditions. And I love it!

As an aside, one of the core members of our little crew here is Polish, and regularly travels back there.

Add +1 to whatever number you come up with. I talked it up to a guy who saw me rolling into the office and said he has been thinking about getting one for 6 months. I spent 10 minutes marketing it ;-)

Then I spent some time riding along the hallway at work to spark more interest.

HI, as I've just written in the other topic about Eu laws, lately I travelled abroad in some european countries, I visited for months mainly Wien, Salzburg, Praha, Amsterdam and Rotterdam and I saw around the streets only 3 Eucs: 2 inmotion (a V10f in Wien and-for the second time-,a V8 in Salzburg) and one unidentified in Amsterdam (I think it was a Gotway). 

In Italy lately has been sadly forbidden to ride eucs but in the pedestrian areas at the max speed of 6 Kmh (SIX) that is 3,7 Mph.  Disheartening. 

Last time I was in Canada I never saw Eucs but it's a lot of time ago, they have a lot of free space to ride there, I'd be curious to know how is nowadays the situation in Toronto, Vancouver and other canadian areas, in my view a country with many perfect places for Eucists. 

In Europe  I guess there won't be more than 10000 active users, maybe less. More realistic a range of 5K-10K. 

I mean eucists using their e-wheels daily or every possible time they wish and can.  

What about South America or Australia and New Zealand?Japan ?  Never heard anything about them...

I’d bet Paris alone have upward 10k wheelers, but we’ve been betting for many pages now 🤷🏼‍♀️

Active users ?   It seems unbelievable, but it would be great to see several thousands people commuting with Eucs every single day in a capital city. 

About the "numbers"  I only clarify that my european estimated "range" of active euc users/riders was only based on my own experience in the cities and countries I visited in the months of Spring and Autumn of the last year.  

If there are a LOT of Eucs more all around in other countries like France for my part I'm only super-happy and positively surprised about it.  Really. 

I'd like to have the chance to strongly support (I mean also finance) the public "spreading" of Euc, particularly in urban environment

I rarely spend an hour outside without seing 2-3 EUCs , so considering 12 million people including suburb, I find upward 10K more or less active not that impossible. A lot of people won't be hanging on forums or tracking GPS. Anyhow, a lot of guesstimations for everyone

The new heat map function in euc.world doesn't give numbers, but does offer a representative idea of where there's the highest concentration of riders (in the West and using android and EUC World):

The heat map is really cool, but it seems to suggest there is more going on than is. I am the only rider in my area (well, two now), and my simple solo rides thru my neighborhood are  creating quite an awesome heat splash. I could only imagine that if there was a mere 3 of us in the same hood, it would look like a HUGE group. Regardless, I was just checking back on this to see how the interview went and if we came up with any more concrete numbers.  I do know that the more euc riders we have out here, the more likely it will get worse and not better(legally).
