>The EUC works by tilting you forward to speed up, and tilting you backward to slowdown.
I think this is the root of your misunderstanding. To speed up and slow down, you tilt yourself forward and backwards. This is actually a strength of the EUC's physics, as it means you're always perfectly balanced for any acceleration or braking, unlike a scooter or bike that can 'throw you over the handlebars'.
I highly recommend trying one, it's my regular commuter and extremely fun.
