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'm not sure if this applies to eMotorbikes, but I have seen how regular eBikes have made mobility open to folks who don't really have a skillset or ethic or ability to ride and had to deal with that. Overall, I think this is good, but I want to see an increase in training offered. Folks can get hurt, or cause damage, or cause problems, in ways that other riders did not traditionally do so. Ultimately, I want to see more like this. They are quieter and will certainly have a smaller emissions impact at a local level.
