Ebikes, scooters, longboards: Whatever floats your goat, this is all things micromobility!
"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.
micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

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 know enough about physics to know that the the single wheel should be at the back or the back wheels need to be offset (think motorcycle with sidecar) if you plan to take it on anything rough otherwise you end up with your product being banned from sale (Honda three wheeler anyone?)
If I ever injure myself to the point where I need to rehab on a three wheel before I can get back to my regular bikes, I will buy a recumbent. I'm in my 50s and I remember the ATC incidents well - I was sitting behind someone on one when I was a kid when we went over, fortunately, nobody was seriously injured, but they are very not stable.
