It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I usually ride my ENGWE EP-2 Pro, but I have a Trek 820 MTB, skateboard, and I recently bought a ripstick because it was $4 at good will and I always wanted to try (I am bad at it btw)

I have an Engwe EP2 pro too lol, definitely not the best but for the money I really like it. Got it on sale for $700 last month, it's my first ebike.

Yeah, I had a battery issue where the charge doesn't show correctly and so far the support has been fucking awful: Very reminiscent of trying to deal with Creality support, which is also an absolute dumpster fire.

Lots of features on the cheap with shitty support and cheap parts? That sounds pretty Creality to me. We get what we pay for I suppose.

i had two flats in 5 days with the EP-2.

Do you guys think i should contact the support and ask for a new tire, or anything like that?

The stuff I regularly ride is my ninebot g2 scooter (luckily no issues yet, after the first return), my meepo eskate, my cheap street bicycle, and my longboard in that order.

I expect my v11 unicycle to replace pretty much all of those though, except for grocery runs (can't beat a scooter for that, with handlebars to hold bags on).

My wife and I just got Lectric Xpedition. Don’t even have 100 km on them yet but liking it so far after a few rides.

Nice, Lectric seems like a pretty decent affordable company.
