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.

'jam packed with batteries' doesn't seem to be a very safe thing to say. May be I'm a bit biased after seeing a bunch of videos of electric cycles bursting into fire in elevators.
Add some spice to your life with lithium fires!
Wow these "lightweight" bikes are 50-60 pounds. I'd be worried about hitting bumps on a carbon frame with that much weight on it. Are most ebikes carbon frame now?
I'm not sure, I figure most of them are still probably aluminum.
