Also much easier to learn than I thought. Just half an hour yesterday and half an hour today, and already I can go 20 km/h without a problem, or take tight curves.

How's the euc still going? Thinking about giving it a try but tbh I don't think I need one

I sold it years ago due to lack of time. Its really something tricky that you need to practice almost daily.

So it's not like riding a bike? You gotta relearn it every time you leave it stagnant?

Not relearn, but its inherently unstable and you can easily fall down after hitting an unexpected bump.

Damn. I thought they easily go over bumps

Small bumps are no problem, but for bigger ones you kind of need to jump with your bodyweight. If you miss it then you can crash.
