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've been riding scooters for more than 25 years, and I can't say I've ever been excited about this category of two-wheelers until now. And at the moment, a Chinese upstart called Omoway has got me especially hot and bothered.

Arranging for your own scooter to meet you would be great too, especially if it's got decent storage. There have been a few times when I've gone to my nearest town and done a bit more shopping than I was expecting to, so getting back from the bus stop would be hard work, or I've gone to visit someone and had to leave early for the bus.

Having a scooter that could come to me would mean that I could walk or bus there, but be able to make my own way home, or drag my broken old body out for a longer walk without having to turn back too soon ๐Ÿ™‚

I'd like this in bicycle form too. Summoning a cargo bike would be great.

Careful, that almost sounds like exercise ๐Ÿ˜ณ
