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.

Honestly, I don't trust anything with wheels under 20 inches going above 15mph. I remember the days of eating shit as a kid on an electric scooter and unpowered scooters. I think the max powered speed I'd ever want to go is about 30mph anyways, even on an ebike.
Exactly. Small narrow wheels and fast speeds spell doom.
Not only that, but the tires they put on these things are designed for off-road, not pavement.
