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 could see this being a lot more practical to carry around. I have a Brompton and a Uscooter. and while carrying them around is doable they are certainly not small to have on you.

Something backpackable is probably subpar to ride for long distances, but likely easy enough to just always have on you.
