Gentian was named from the fringed gentian flowers growing near the town site.[2]
gollark: I see.
gollark: How does it stay balanced? On a normal scooter I think you just have to lean or something to manually balance it, but I don't think that would work as well at electric scooter speeds.
gollark: How *does* it avoid toppling sideways when you're driving really fast?
gollark: Self-driving functionality would be... cool, but probably impractical.
gollark: That isn't actually a fix since you can set it to 34.99999 hours, surely?
