Hope this is okay here, I read the community description and I'm still not clear, but now I want to see someone slap an electric motor on and commute to work in an office chair.

Hope this is okay here

Mod here: Definitely ok, thanks for posting!

I wish every place had bike racks, there are plenty of places I avoid because they don't. They're losing out on business from me and probably lots of others.

As for office chairs, the closest I've gotten is riding down hallways on those office chairs with polyurethane casters (10/10, would recommend btw). You could probably get one of those hoverboards and use it as a sort of front wheel drive for a motorized version.

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.
