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.

43mph on a scooter is incredibly fast. I have one that go 25mph and that is too much for me. 15-20 is my pref for urban riding.

With those tiny wheels I imagine this would feel scary as hell. I've been ~45mph on my ebike and that's quite scary even with big wheels. You had better wear a helmet AND a diaper if you're taking this thing up to 43mph on anything but a perfectly paved track. It takes 1 pothole to turn you into a quarter mile long red streak on the pavement.
