That are my experiances too. 99% of all reactions are postiv or very positiv. 1% of negativ reactions comes from very old men and never from old woman. some of the old woman reacting with fear. i must add ... since im driving the MTen3 i got only positv reactions, even if i drive slowly on the sidewalk between peoples which is not allowed here. i thing the mten3 is more seen as a toy like a scateboard or something like that.
