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.

Maybe there's a use for this.

But the further away we move from the simplicity of bikes, the less likely they'll be ridden with any degree of consistency or have mass appeal.

The size, weight, difficulty maintaining, and inability to store it easily would make this a non-starter for so many people.
