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.

Can-Am last produced motorcycles in the 1980s. Now, the BRP-operated brand has added two new electric machines for on and off-road riding.

The real innovation here that makes these bikes cool is the drivetrain. It’s built into the swingarm area so both of these bikes have the exact same drivetrain but way different riding characteristics.

Battery life is meh because you can’t really drive this thing to the trails unless you’re already close by. But the performance will knock the absolute wind out of a gas equivalent.
