Well, it was worth a try! Sorry for the lowball offer, I don’t have much of a budget. I might check back with you in 4months though when I have the money.
Took a few Km to get used to it, but started to feel “normal” after awhile.
The board itself is really nice. The foot pads modulate speed by the amount of pressure you put on them. They have decent sensitivity. The brakes are favoured by the firmware so you can sort of leave your front foot over the front pad and pivot your back foot to hit the brakes when you need them.
I think my biggest reservation with the board is the braking. I’d be afraid my foot wouldn’t be close enough to the brake pad if anything sudden happened
The pads are pretty big. I find the most natural stance is to have my rear foot right in front of the pad. When I need to brake I just pivot my foot and my heel is right over the pad.
Yeh, but how sudden are you going to brake, anyways? I like the idea A LOT although I haven’t had a chance to try it yet. This or stress sensors on the front truck.
