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 definitely belong in bike lanes. It's only electric motorcycles that belong on the road. The difference is size and top speed.

E-bikes are electric motorcycles, there’s no difference without some top speed enforcement mechanism.

Not according to law.

Literally what I just said. The top speed of pedal assisted bikes is mostly just 15 mph. That's bike lane speed.
