For me I've been riding my new mten5 around a lot. It gets about 20 miles of range and will happily cruise at 20mph (max is somewhere over 30).
I also have an ebike, escooter, and 3 other electric unicycles (EUCs) but this little ripper has been my favorite this week.
Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles: 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.
how are these things safe?
I haven't heard of anyone crashing due to hardware failure on any EUCs in the past year, so they've gotten pretty reliable.
Personally after a couple thousand miles I've never had a crash that wasn't caused by me running into something stupidly, and I've never had an injury. Just wear kneepads/helmet/wristguards and you'll be fine.
