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.

So like CVT for bikes? Sounds neat.

It's three-speed. It is just an automatic transmission, not continuously variable.
