    I’ve been riding electric skateboards for almost a decade, no mechanical brakes, only regen

    Did it go wrong a few times? Yep, not a good moment

    It works really well, but even with all this riding time under my belt I don’t trust it in situations it’s failure would end really bad, for example, in a steep downhill, I will go slow so I can have time to jump off if needed

    I know the system on them isn’t even close to automotive grade

      It’s a different system. The engines here can output more than 250 hp to each wheel, and it goes reverse if necessary. And each wheel is individually controlled by the computer.
