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.

Ugh I typed a lot and Lemmy (or Sync) glitched and lost it.
Anyway, I completely agree.
Futuremotion makes a great product but they're an anti-right-to-repair shitty patent troll company.
Also Floatwheel is awesome and entirely right-to-repair. And they give the middle finger to all patents and are happily operating with crypto. I paid them $2000 for their version of a Onewheel and I'll do it again when the sequel releases in a week.

edit: it released today
Huh, I'm not gonna buy one because I have 2-3 more bikes/ ebikes and an electric unicycle in line in front of it, but that's really cool. I don't see schematics, but I didn't look very hard. I did look at the parts section and that's cool. Looks like they might have gotten their start making kits for other manufacturers vehicles.
