I've been holding off buying one for some time due to QC problems that plagued most of the mid-range brands. The only ones who were reputable and reliable were $1.8k-2k high end boards and I wasn't prepared to pay that.
With the most recent model releases earlier this year from the popular Chinese brands, the reviews have been mostly positive, citing the manufacturers listening to user feedback and modifying and upgrading their boards accordingly.
The one I picked ships with two different sized wheels and the ability to change the drive wheel grips without needing to remove the hub motor. Parts are also readily available and replaceable by the user.
The new ones give a reported fairly consistent 20-25km range with no noticeable power loss until the last 10% of the battery. We'll see if that holds true, that's certainly more than enough range for me and I would suspect the average user.
