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.

Looks neat, but Lol Is that a flammable battery pack where my dick would be, when sitting that thing? I would probably move the battery pack somewhere else if thats what it is.
"Headway 38120 lithium iron phosphate cells"
They're not the burny type you're thinking of. Less volatile.
Considering how small it is - there is nowhere else to move the battery to.
If you want to keep the vehicle compact and maneuverable (and less prone to tip over), you keep the battery where it is now: low and near the centre of mass (or you can basically sit on top of it)).
I'd rather it behind my head than in my lap for sure.
