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.

hiboy looks good, but I see a lot of disparaging reviews concerning its build quality.

any firsthand experience with a solid-wheel scooter is what I'm looking for, thanks!

I am pretty okay with the consumer goods from xiaomi I've used, what do you think about their electric scooter in terms of build quality, range all that?

which model did you get for the solid tires? is it called the mi?

The scooter was trash. The main hinge broke after about 18 months. And as always, buying a new one was cheaper than repairing.

haha, nice. how much was the model you bought?

was it on Amazon or did you ship it from China through Alibaba or something?
