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 thing looks absolutely ridiculous, as if it was designed by someone who has never ridden (or perhaps even seen) a skateboard.
Pretty much on brand for a Yanko Design shitpost though!
I'm sure there's a market for electric skateboards as art pieces rather than as transport or for fun. Do I think the market is huge? Def no lol
I can't get over the severe protrusions that means this thing will run aground on almost any surface protrusions. It's like those motorized shoes we saw a while back, where they built it and later found the one use-case it was good for: warehouses, which have very smooth floors.
Hey, my skateboard, now hanging on my wall, totally enhances my middle-aged-man home office, and establishes my credentials as a still-hip young-at-heart, totally not emotionally-dead middle-management-drone!
I've actually ridden it within the past year, but (a) I am absolutely certain I look ridiculous on it, and (b) I'm sincerely concerned that I'll hurt myself: old people break more easily, and heal more slowly.
I have several old boards I am afraid to ride at this point including an offroad board I picked up off craigslist. I even have a broken StreetCarver someone gave me (Ill fix it eventually, definitely). Getting old and fat sucks.
That thing looks wild!
Getting old definitely sucks, my busted arm is still healing from a crash over a year ago.
Still, it beats the alternative.
