- I started my EUC journey officially in 2024…but in 2025 I got my second EUC and one of the core loves of my life, my Leaperkim Veteran Lynx. The ease and convenience of riding anywhere in the city is second to none, but also the way it makes me feel, the skills I get to hone, the friends that I’ve met. It’s a life changing hobby.
