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.

I did miss that when reading the article, but I still stick to my argument that the top speed is too low. Even in the downtown area of my city people drive 45+.
There's "city" and then there's "super dense city like NY/SF/wherever".
I live downtown and I couldn't use this thing to get groceries or get to work.
