@@ganymedehedgehog371 you're missing the point. The speed and range are not the reason to buy this, it's the portability and form factor that are the main selling points here. Yea scooters can fold up, but none of them will be as easy to carry on and off a bus/metro or store out of sight under a desk/in a cupboard at a job. For most professionals it's going to be a lot easier carrying around what's essentially a suitcase than a folded up scooter that's bulky and like 4 feet long. This thing is meant to unobtrusively get you that last mile or two that aren't covered by public transit, NOT to be ripping around town at high speed and distance for your whole commute.

EUCs are a truly minimalist EV, in wheel motor and a battery and the self balancing gyro, only one moving part, the wheel itself, all controlled with just balance, what I love about them is the compactness, you get a luggage handle that pops out and you can wheel them around a shop or into work. Charge them under your desk. Completely silent, and once you get the hang of it, very stable despite how they look the opposite.
