It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Call me old-fashioned, I don't need OTA upgrades on my electrical scooter or bike. All this does is create a possibility that features that worked when I bought the product stop working later. Also makes me wonder if that is a potential backdoor to the keyless unlocking they boast about.

Call me old fashioned, but back in my day, bikes used pedals and scooters required feet and we didn't have none of that devil electro-lonical stuff at all.

You are old fashioned if you live in the 1800s. Powered bikes and scooters had gas engines long ago and the electrics we have now are quieter and cleaner with fewer moving parts and far less maintenance. Foot power is still alive and well, why begrudge people choises?

Back in my day, jokes made people laugh, occasionaly, they still do. Don't stop joking though. Even my grumpy ass can pull a laugh now and then.
