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.

Saw this idea in Taiwan about a decade ago, but it was a more proprietary setup. The batteries were cylinders with a handle on the end. They locked into place in the charging shelf so no cabinets were needed. Full size scooters needed 2 batteries.
