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.

You can get a $1500 electric bike? The only ones I've seen at the bike shop all start around $5000. I can get a car for $5000.
You can get an e bike for less than $500 now.
That's less than a regular bike costs. Is it any good at all?
They are ok. Heavier, not super nice. But comfortable enough for 30 min or so.
