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.

My theory is that there's a bit of a divide in bicycle brands: the old and new. The old ones have the name recognition, which means people know about them, but not necessarily that they make e-bikes. The new ones will have the flashy website and visuals to draw in the online crowd. I think the e-bike people are kind of in-between those two and so are slipping through the cracks.
