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.

Or, maybe it’s because to drive a car you’re supposed to be an adult, have had lessons, taken tests, and be licensed; whereas none of these apply to e-bikes.

And yet the vast majority of motorists don't follow road rules, while cyclists do (unless it's unsafe to follow them), and cyclists tend to be better drivers, too.

Strange how that works.

We (society) have to look at risk based on statistical facts, not discrimination.
