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've seen those. They're 2-stroke and gas powered

Most of them are 4-stroke now, but thankfully they are gradually fucking off in general and being replaced with electric scooters.

You can get electric scooters. Some country in Asia banned use of gas ones because of the pollution and noise when electric ones became feasible.
