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.

Agreed. I lived in NYC for 5 years and e-bikes were king, unless it was raining or the winter. Also you need to have balls of stall to ride around in Manhattan (in most parts).
I live in Miami now and e-scooters are everywhere. I don't have a car down here, but you definitely need one to get outside of a few mile area. Once I finally get a job, I'm definitely getting an e-scooter (the foldable kind) because they have a great range, they're fast, and I don't need to pay for gas, insurance or parking. I'll need to bring my car down here eventually though because the scooter is only good for a few miles.
