So, I’ve been considering micromobility options recently to help me get out a little bit more and range better. My dog told me he’d appreciate it if I got out a little more on my off-days. I don’t know why he’s gotta be so judgy like that…

Anyways,

-Bike formats are out, it needs to be easier to transport and not take up that much space.

-Balance boards are cool, but I’m not sure that’s quite what I’m looking for either…

Electric skateboards, scooters, mountainboards, etc., what’s good? I’m drawn to the idea of electric boards with (potentially?) off-road capabilities. I’m a mountainbiker and often have access to excellent trails, so I like the thought of being able to ride on those too sometimes but my main uses would probably just be getting around town or going out on paved greenways.

Entry level would be good, I’m hoping for somewhere in the 500-1000 dollar range if it exists but if I have to pay more for something better then so be it.

Also, DIY solutions aren’t completely out of the question for me. I could see myself messing around with a build project if it strikes my fancy.

Thanks for any help, I’m looking forward to seeing what you all come up with!

    Good luck and try to be patient: I wish I had saved up my money and got a different ebike than I did (Engwe EP2 Pro). Take your time, do your research, and enjoy the ride that works best for you when you find it!
