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've been saying that standardization is something that the industry needs to move toward to increase quality, lower costs and make repairs easier.

Well if the ebike/scooter industry at large doesn't do it, then it would be very interesting to see if one company which has its hands in many different industries way outside just mobility is able to standardize its components. If I didn't have an ebike already, I'd take a serious look at what Greenworks offers. Imagine having the same battery that you ride on one day, you then use to mow your lawn or use in your leaf blower, etc.

This sounds fantastic! However, I would ask - Can they function without an "App"? And if not, what data does these e-vehicles collect (or steal if it's without consent).
