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.

Riding my e-bike is still a physical workout, just one that takes me further than my regular bike. I can take bike paths or forest paths and don't have to always use the roads. E-bikes are quiet.
