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 think it's safe to say this board isn't intended for the average user and i don't think that's a problem.

I would say that things like this arent really micro-mobility because of that. They're high-performance, enthusiast-grade products whereas, IMO, micro-mobility is more about mass-adoption.

Bougie micromobility is still micromobility. I would totally ride one of these (at 10-15 mph lol)

You're right, i just distinguish between bougie and high-performance. They're very different goals.

It's a Venn diagram situation IMO

What I could see this being used for is some sort of closest to actual quidditch we could get, some really complex skate-park but which is sort of like a track, at least symmetrical like a playing field.

Like rollerderby-skateboard-lacrosse-rollercoaster-quidditch

Although I think if emulating quidditch, just powerful e-scooters with saddles, lol.

I've had the idea for years but I'm not youtube millionaire who could tell people to give me money for such a thing and actually expect to get it

I feel like I've heard of people doing that on OneWheels. I'm not sure.
Sounds fun though!
