    Tilt forward a little too much and the board is driven into the ground with a powered wheel behind it. So easy to crash. The design is inherently flawed and requires the user to maintain level balance at all times and on fairly stable and level ground.

    I’ve seen people take these off road without much issue and that’s awesome for them but if it’s my money, I want to buy and ride something that is more forgiving, especially when motorized. I say that as someone who regularly rides an electric mountain bike that goes 80 km/h.

      What you’re talking about is really not a problem with modern boards and safety features. I disagree that that it’s inherently flawed. You can also crash a bike if you ride it wrong.

      The real problem is with the company, which is anti-user and anti-competitive.
