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.

Its a scooter that has room for a passenger (or presumably, some extra cargo with a seat mod) which has the stylings of something less derpy than most scooters.

I think it looks neat.

Its kind of like the opposite of how many Western designers do micro EV cars.

They often have extremely weird designs that look... something like a mix between attempting to be cute and futuristic, like how you would imagine cars in an animated pixar kids movie set in the future.
