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.

Forget practicality and cargo bikes, the utilitarian fat tyre commuter ones too. I want to see what this community thinks the ones that look badass are.

I was watching Ford Vs Ferarri and Lee Iacoca was doing the whole speech about how Ford doesnt have the sex appeal of Ferarri and I started to think that E-Bikes might have the same issue when it comes to widespread public desire to own one.

Realistically some of the ones that I think are aestheticaly "Cool" I would probably never buy because for several thousand dollars I do need a measure of practicality. I own a pickup because its what I need, I want a Ferarri because of how it looks.
