Hi. I've had my Bamboo GT for 3 days. I've never ridden a skate/long board in my life. I've already busted my ass two times on the thing, but that's beside the point. Here's my constructive criticism... We should be able to change gears (modes) without letting off the throttle. Frequently, I've been climbing up a hill and the board slows and stalls, but then I have to release the throttle to change modes, which makes me start to drift back, then the power kicks in and... it's just a mess. Furthermore, forget that gear/mode stuff. It should work like how cruise control works on a car; it should automatically adjust the power/torque to maintain your current speed when on an incline. Also, in addition to the four modes, or maybe in lieu of, I just want to input my maximum desired top speed. Then I want the acceleration curves to be adjusted for that. Or better yet, input your top speed, then a function (or mode, i.e. modest, aggressive, whatever) to dictate your acceleration curve. Maybe I ask too much. Eff you, I hope kangaroos maul you. The motors need to be physically higher so I can drag the thing around (like a dolly) in the grocery story. I want to be able to grab the front trucks and just drag the damn thing behind me without damaging it. And why isn't this thing getting me laid? The marketing videos seem to indicate that should happen. F-ing cunts (something something, giant spiders, deadly animals). Do I need to go faster and without a helmet? Anyway, fifteen hundred bucks is a lot for a piece of wood, wheels, and electric motor (I have friends that build these things, drones, powered surfboards, etc). For that price point, I want an extremely polished experience; I'm paying for the R&D that goes into the software. On a more positive note, it's over 3x better than my friend's $500 eboard. I can't stress this enough; it's about UX and less about specs (I mean, specs market things, but UX is ultimately what wins people over). Good board... but if I die, I'm going to sue y'all. /s {}
