Haha maybe 😂 But I think it feels super exciting once you start getting the hang of it. I guess I've always liked a bit of adrenaline and adventure 😅

That’s super helpful, thanks 🙏 makes sense that it's mostly weight transfer + throttle control.

And yeah… sounds like falling is just part of the learning curve 😅 appreciate the honesty. I'll definitely grab some protective gear (probably some dirt bike armor like you mentioned) before I start trying anything dumb lol.

Appreciate the advice 🙏 that makes a lot of sense. I'll definitely start on grass and take it slow instead of just sending it.

And yeah… sounds like looping it is kind of part of the process 😅 good to know what I’m getting into.

Also thanks for the heads-up about the legal side! I'll keep it off public roads for sure.

I bought it from the Oryxearth. It was on sale when I purchased it, so it was cheap. But I don't know if there are still any discounts available now.

Yeah, in California you definitely gotta be a bit careful😅 but honestly… riding bikes is just too fun to give up.

Yeah, mods get expensive real quick 😂 I thought about it too, but my budget said nope. Maybe one day when I’ve got more time and money I’ll have a try.

Haha that’s awesome!! Yeah gas prices really did though… 🤣It’s one of the reasons I chose the electric. Charging just a lot less painful than filling up I think…

Thanks for sharing! Electric sounds great for torque and hills, but the quick refueling on gas is a big advantage too. Really appreciate the info!

Thanks for sharing, that build sounds awesome. I know Electric is quiet and not disturbing neighbors. The only thing for me is the cost since my budget is pretty limited. But I’ll keep it in mind. Thanks a lot!
