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.

People need to stop conflating emoto and emoped with electric bicycles too.

The kids around my way are hitting buisness entrance burms like motocross jumps , it's pretty crazy . I doubt they are E- bikes but more of what you mentioned emoto or something.

Just a matter of time before there is some "news worthy" incident because of these entitled jack ass'.

We need some kind of motorbike park for kids to have fun at instead

No doubt. When we were kids and things weren't as built up we went far out in the woods or undeveloped lots and built BMX tracks and even had dirt bikes but it's hard to find places like that anymore. I certainly don't blame them ...I think looking back we were way worse than they are

We really don't care as a society about kids. We take away all.their options and then complain when they try and find something else to do instead.
