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.

For me I've been riding my new mten5 around a lot. It gets about 20 miles of range and will happily cruise at 20mph (max is somewhere over 30).

I also have an ebike, escooter, and 3 other electric unicycles (EUCs) but this little ripper has been my favorite this week.

Sadly, I am recovering from a crash that a faulty fender on my Engwe caused and have been driving this week.

Hopefully I'll heal up fast but to anyone out there that has an Engwe: Remove your front fender bolts that attach the stays to the fork and replace them with zip ties or remove the fender entirely.

These shitty fenders fail and wrap around the front tire, sending the rider into the pavement at great speed. Bones were broken, Engwe did not give a single shit and as far as I can tell, they are taking no action to fix the issue.

You should probably make an actual warning post about this so more people will see it. You aren't the first to get thrown by an Engwe because of the fender.
