I had a second batch pre-order but bought a.. competitor board after the price increase. some general thoughts on longboarding as a last-mile vehicle: - to get good speed out of it you really need a bike lane - I use a gun lock on the trucks, but it's hard to find a good spot to tie it to. - carrying around 15 pounds is a pain, but I have a feeling reducing weight would also reduce stability - it does get a lot of attention ("is that an electric skateboard?") all in all I feel like it would only work for commuters with a good bike lane between home and work. Random destinations is just too much work. I've had a lot of fun in parks though, just cruising and enjoying the boarding experience.
