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.

Was the mention of US fl oz a joke or are there seriously scooters that specify their fuel or battery capacity in US fl oz equivalent?

As for amp-hour as a unit, I agree it's not convertible to watt-hours without the other cell parameters, and many consumer electronics will fail to specify this in detail. In some contexts like RC aircraft though, where the cell chemistry is well-known, amp-hour could be used along with only the max C-rate to compute an allowable charge rate in amps. Neither the cell/pack voltage nor cell configuration is needed here, provided the rating is accurate for the pack in question.

it was a joke but I did a brief search and it seems the tanks are listed in litres (nice) or decimal gallons (sacrilege)

Hopefully they at least used US gallons for some sense of consistency lol
