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.

Probably for riding what is effectively an electric motorbike down a pedestrianised street.

It's Derby, so I'm guessing they were riding like dickheads (which happens regardless of them being electric or not), were stopped and were then found to have modified the bikes into something that requires a license and insurance, meaning they could be confiscated.
