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.

I wonder if the author has any worries about “bottom-shelf” lithium ion batteries catching fire when this thing is parked in his garage?

And they even claim that the bike is covered by UL2849 compliance, though the jury is still out on whether that provides any peace of mind for the 432 Wh battery.

I think they are lol
