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 riding scooters for more than 25 years, and I can't say I've ever been excited about this category of two-wheelers until now. And at the moment, a Chinese upstart called Omoway has got me especially hot and bothered.

Self driving while empty and at lower speeds could be great to re-shuffle them back to higher demand areas to then rent them out again.

But self driving while I'm on it, please no

Just carry a traffic cone in case you need to disable it!
