After a long time and a lot of research, my entry point into the Transportation game begins with a pair of electric roller skates
I plan to buy the Escend over the Rollwalk for the increased IP rating and parts list. I have a helmet and will buy knee and arm pads. I will update as the story goes along

Good luck, i would advise you to get a pair of skate shoes, as I’ve heard that doop skates have imprecise handling without them.

You sure you got the right size shoes? Those feet seem kinda small

I went a half size up and they fit snugly. I just need to dial them in lol
So far the only big thing is the right battery is at half power from being stuck in transit for 2 weeks. But they are fun! I also need to adjust the regenerative braking down. The jolts from the remote are why im glad i am using this platform to get used to ESC
I also need to post in the children section lol. I have spawn
This looks way more dangerous than an esk8.
You are getting used to ESC by strapping them to your feet so you can’t get off when you lose control?

Well, these are strapped to your feet. I wesr my helmet and m acquiring knee/elbow pads. I am also practicing in a empty parking lot so i dont endnsger myself while i learn
After testing them out, I have decided i am shit at roller blading, and will practice safely and when the weather is right. They are a more dangerous form per se but only if you don’t know how to roller blade and you have no safety items. Once I realized i had a skill gap, i wasnt as stubborn about riding them every day, instead focusing on training with them. This is a awesome fun hobby, but being realistic about your limits is a importance to me

In between the snow storms,bitter cold and my toddler having a cold, They have been sitting off the charger from full for about a week. I will pull them out and reinspect until it gets good enough to practice again
I would never keep full charge for a week
These snow storms screw with my battery autism

I really dont want to take em out in the snow so perhaps ill turn em on and inspect them this week. Being a grocery store dude, a dad, and self schooling my way is kicking my ass again. Along with the weather haha.
Update:
I finally took them out and practiced some more. I learned that i wasn’t that shit at roller blading but adjusting both the skates and the remote is key. After my first 2 times I adjusted the skates as far forward as i could, and then set the braking to 75% and voila!
It was like i was skating regularly again.
I skated for over a mile just relearning basics and having fun
