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.

I think the issue lies with the rented one and how people can comfortably leave it anywhere because the scooter is locked by default. If it's private owned, the owner will very likely take care of it by parking it somewhere safe and far away from harm way. Escooter is great when you're riding a train or bus, you can just fold it up and use it as a last mile solution, or at least the low powered and light one does, but these thing are big and isn't meant to be taken into train or bus. Instead of banning i think speed limit and motor power and where it allowed to ride should be controlled.
