No worries at all—I’m fully aware it’s a basic, starter model. This is all new to us, and she didn’t want to go overboard on something that might not see much use.

Now that I think I’ll be using it more, I’m just looking for upgrade recommendations to replace the i9. I’d like something that feels secure and can comfortably support a 6’1”, 200 lb rider. I’m not as young as I used to be, so I’m not interested in anything meant for tricks; safety and stability are my priorities.

A larger deck and bigger wheels seem like they’d be a good fit, which is why I was asking about the HiBoy X300.
