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'm not ready to accept that as-is. Sure, you're less likely to fall down in a four-wheeled vehicle, but I'm not convinced that a closed vehicle without a crumple zone is actually safer than an open two-wheeled vehicle in a collision. My guess is that you're more likely to injure yourself on a regular moped, but you're more likely to outright die in a mobility scooter.
I guess it boils down to whether it's more dangerous to ragdoll over the road or to hit the inside of your mobility scooter at full speed.
AFAIK there hasn't been a single death in Finland involving one. Biggest thing is that they stick out like a sore thumb in traffic so you reduce the risk of getting driven over by an inattentive car driver by multiple orders of magnitude.
