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.

LMAO… yeah go 100mph on a scooter.

What could possibly go wrong…..

I see an increase in the dashcam videos with someone on a 100mph scooter wiping out or crashing into a vehicle.

Better wear full on motorcycle gear when riding these things and have your will up to date.

I saw a one wheel guy doing at least 40mph the other day. He was all kitted out in leathers and a very blinky helmet. Looked like a motorcycle that the front had fallen off of.
