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 bet it would do okay in winter in places that don't do a good job of maintaining bicycle paths, unlike most other electric scooters. That said, I'd still rather get an e bike.

I'm sure there's a use.

But I won't own a micromobility vehicle that I can't easily move or fix in the event of a problem while out on a ride.
