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.

New member here. I've been using an electric scooter as my primary means of transportation for about a year and have really enjoyed it.

I'm working on getting deeper into making my own micro evs so I was thrilled when I stumbled upon this community.

Looking forward to it!
