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.

This is so where I am as well, but everyone rides electric scooters everywhere anyway and it seems it's one of the few things (thus far) our overzealous and quasi-fascist police department doesn't hassle anyone over.
I'll also point out that James May himself is an avid owner and rider of motorcycles, as am I, which are also a fantastic personal transportation solution that everyone outside of Southeast Asia studiously forgets about.
That's because American motorcyclists have to share the road with American drivers. And American drivers suck. They are constantly distracted by phone calls, social media posts, doing makeup, and of course eating McDonald's. That is assuming they can see you over the hood of their monstrosity.
