Im thinking these would be great to take in the back of the truck to Joeys or something, get half snapped and then ride these home from there lol. Cant get a DUI on these I wouldn't think?

Fawk ya.

Ya it’s sketchy on ice. It goes ok on packed snow. But doesn’t hold a edge the same turning.

We put a few mile on both boards around veggerville Saturday. It was plus 10 so the streets were very slushy and flooded. Could usually ride down the old tire tracks were the melt water was flowing.

Better than walking. Kept the feet dry.

Got my new treaded tire and Air pad foot pad for the XR. The Tire compound In the tread area is so soft. Feels gummy to dig a finger nail in and it leases a mark for a bit. Side wall is stiff.

Excited to try something other than the stock Vega!

Right on, let us know what you think of it. I am looking for a treaded tire as I can already tell this stock slick washes out a bit. Want something good for pavement and off road

we still have lots of snow at home. But we went for a slush bash around our or subdivision today. I couldn’t climb my steep slushy driveway but it slayed the slop pretty decent if it wasn’t a steep incline. Shoes stayed dry, roll through everything if it wasn’t a climb.
Still stock Vega.

Ordered some slime and nylon tire levers on amizon.

So there are lots of xrs for sale on kijiji. Are they worth it over the pint? Inhave the pint but I'm jot a fan of it off the pavement. I can ride fairly well but I find it very unstable in anything loose. Is the xr better for trails or jist save my coin and keep the pint

I haven’t used our pint too much yet. I grab the XR.

So far my impression is the XR kicks it’s ass. Just the fact that the pint would operate after being in the truck -15 all night. The XR did!

Battery life is double.
