I've done about 700miles on mine in a year. Amazing to drive, only had two spills. No real damage.
One thing I do suggest to everyone is to get a proper full-face helmet. The longboarding kind, not motorbike (lighter). It makes the ride less windy and cars take you more seriously in traffic.
Plus, at 22mph you can do some serious damage to your moneymaker. A $200 helmet will stop that. Totally worth looking like a bit nerdier.
Can't wait to get the new version of the board. With daily riding, it amortized against Uber in 3 months.
