Seeing electric skateboards in my feed reminds me to take a ride every now and then.

They are also very cool.

    I’m pushing 30 and I would say no!
    I have met some people over 40 happily riding an EUC so I don’t see why not :)
    The important thing IMO is that you ride according to your capability to handle sudden events.

    Do you have experience longboarding? If yes, I would definitely recommend it.
    When people ask me about difficulty, I always recommend them to do a little bit of longboarding beforehand.

    Some skills I find useful:

    • being able to shuffle around your feet on the board while riding (swiftness when taking off in traffic)
    • confidently riding over bumps and holes (overall confidence, also means less muscle strain)
    • being able to footbreak, if ever at some point electronics would break (peace of mind)
    • knowing at what speeds you can jump off comfortably (safety)

    These come to mind, there are probably more
