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.

100kg-125kg (220-275lbs) are fairly common weight ratings yeah. Half of it is because the frame needs to handle you dropping a curb without snapping like a pretzel, but the other half is because gravity is a bitch and trying to go up even a small hill takes a lot of power.
Most escooters promise 25-30% climb capability, but hauling 300lbs up a 30% grade at just 10mph requires 2200 watts, while most smaller escooters max out at 500-1000W.
Even that 1000W is only enough for ~4.5mph.
