Finally took the plunge and bought a wheel. Spent hours and hours digging through YouTube and forums before picking one, and the names "Jason" and "eWheels" popped up all the time, and in a good way. Ordered a V8f from them, it was shipped quick and as advertised. In the process of learning how to ride, somehow the axel broke ( based on the vids and forums, I've only found one other case of this, so it's nothing that stands out as common, just a perfect fall over or something). Emailed the company, got an immediate response, tried what they suggested from my description. The suggestions didn't solve it, so I received a shipping label, sent it off, and it was repaired and shipped back to me the same day it was received. It's good to know that if you end up getting the oddball in the batch, it's taken care of crazy quick. I'm sure I'll outgrow the euc sometime in the near future, and I'm sure I know who I'm buying the next one from.
