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.

E-bikes could get faster, more powerful and not require pedaling, in a move announced today by UKGOV. Cycling organizations are opposed to the plans.

Idk how it is over there but here police have a very clear understand of what you can and can't do with an ebike and you will probably be stopped.

Bear in mind, Europeans don't live in a fascist police state and the police are pretty unlikely to shoot you for having a throttle on your bike 🙄

Most of our cops don't know the laws, so if they shoot you it's just for fun.
