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.

The Lightfoot scooter comes with two large solar panels so it doesn’t have to plug in.

Vertically mounted panels and parked outside in the street? It will not even start charging. Then they have the side panel open downwards, what a missed opportunity: rotate it the other direction and the solar cells can be optimally directed to the sun.

And then it also can fly.
