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'd be interesting to know what this is actually classified as, legally.

Riding on the sidewalk with a 500lb+ "mobility scooter" that's basically a narrow car seems like it could raise a lot of questions.

That said, I'd love to see these replace full-size cars for people who still want/need to drive around town for errands.

Just from looking at that pic (no, I don't click random yt links), I'd classify it as L7e.

In Europe, but apparently in Canada, it's a "mobility scooter".
