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.

Most of what I know about the recalls that were done was from a Louis Rossmann video on it, and my impression so many months later was that it was a specific design issue either software or hardware that was only an issue with OneWheels.
I don't know which specific video I saw, and am assuming this one contains his understanding of events better than I can express it myself: https://youtu.be/Q_Mk-5XkSmY
Yeah, he nails it. I listened to the whole thing.
Basically exactly what I said, except for "ghosting" which is a problem where the board will ride without a user on it. Ghosting boards can be a hazard, but not to the rider
I'm probably misremembering then. I'll rewatch to get back up to speed.
