Knowing a wheels range is important! Many riders dont bother to find their peak range to speed "pace" of the wheel, if that makes sense. When I ask why I usually get "well I just stop and charge, I carry my charger everywhere". But that seems impractical and unrealistic to me. My V12HS is my most efficient wheel (not longest range). With only 1750wh, I can get 50-60 miles(95km) easily doing about 20-25mph (37kmh) with hardly any regen. Thats pretty impressive and not too far off from my 2700wh nikola.
I can't in all honesty say it was easy to learn, not for me anyway. More difficult than a bicycle I would say. An EUC is stable front to back but as you said you have to be moving to balance side to side. Time on the machine is the trick, right at the beginning its exhausting so little and often. An EUC doesn't give much away. if you want to do something you will have to practice it. Mounting the thing, braking, inclines up and down, tight turns, bumps, kerbs, uneven surfaces I'm stubborn as mule so I wasn't going to be beaten. I'm doing 30 mile rides now I could not even imagine ever being able to do that while I was learning (I'm still learning). It is hugely rewarding, good exercise and surprising practical at times, delivering, picking up the car from the MOT for example. You will fall off, but that is less than a big deal than you might have thought. Standing upright traversing your local area, paths and bridal ways, is very comfortable, not tiring and a very natural stance, leaving your arms and hands completely free of course. Highly recommended.

I don't have one of these,but it looks fun. Am I correct in thinking it can't be that hard to learn,just keep your balance in the middle,like a bike?
