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.

At the 100 mph with such small wheels, you would not have enough time to react between when a small rock appeared clearly in view and when it stops you dead in your tracks.
I would know as someone who faceplanted after a skateboard wheel hit a pebble so small I never saw it.
I’d like to laws requiring a larger minimum diameter on e-scooter wheels.
Wow, you stirred up an old memory of Garrett Hill's Coffee Slam

Great illustration of a pro skateboard vs a pebble.
yeah this is why I switched to longboards with big goofy soft wheels. they eat pebbles and cracks
Fuck pebbles, I got one lodged into some 54mm 95s once. I was able to tuck and roll into some grass but the wheel rolled funny after that.
