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 feel like 51 mph is not enough unless you live in the middle of a city and never leave it. In which case you could use the subway or something instead.

Thats in the "boost mode" or whatever its called too. In eco mode it tops out at 36MPH which wouldn't even hit the speed limit of some residential streets around me.

These are essentially just electric scooters with a street bike facade.

Definitely wouldn't work for highway driving.
