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.

Also, just to clarify. New tires you can do yourself. On scooters usually the tire and rim are one thing. So you just order a replacement from the factory. The problem is that one of them has the motor built into the rim so it’s a little more expensive. But still totally doable. Some come with inflatable tires which are cheaper to replace but have the obvious disadvantage of going flat if a hole is poked in them.

The batteries are the thing specially that no one messes with in my area, and by my area I mean my state.
