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.

Wow. You can get something similar, if lower end, for $1300.

Ride1up roadster v3.

I'm sure they don't match on specs, but 1/7th the price is a pretty good argument.
