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 figure it's for people with balance/mobility issues who want to do a little bit of off road or who maybe just have shitty roads where they live?

I gotta say, on some of my roads you wouldn't want to ride anything less than a MTB or gravel bike, road bikes would not reliably make it and you'd end up eating shit sooner or later if you tried to go fast.
