After a couple of months of riding the metro-board to and from work in Brooklyn, it's holding up great. I ride it over four miles each way on a commute that puts plenty of wear and tear on the board. Many of the streets I travel on are bumpy and have rocks, sticks, bumps, and potholes, and the Metroboard has not had any problems. Also I have to put lots of wear on the brakes, with sudden stops necessary at almost every block. The board performs great up and down steep hills. I get tons of compliments and questions everywhere I go and it fits under my desk at work. Any questions or complaints are quickly resolved by their fantastic customer service. I am 6'4" and weigh about 200 with my bag on my back and it still goes 20 mph and easily makes the round trip without needing a charge. Sometimes I do bring a charger to work just in case I want to make a loop around the park and it charges in 1-3 hours. I overtake most bikers and get to work without sweating and make it there faster than I would by car or subway. The metroboard is a hit and I'd definitely recommend it. It's easily the best of the three e-vehicles I've owned so far.
I'd put the ones I've owned in this order.
1. Metroboard midsize (great all around) - $1100 with all the add-ons
2. Ezip 750 (good quality but poor range and battery dies quickly) - $400
3. Raw motors 300w (this got great range but was really poorly made and had a cheap battery) - $500
