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.

Why not just leave it at speed limits and use the power whatever the motor has until the speed limit is reached?
We already do this for cars - and we don't differ between an athlete and ..well, me, when it comes to acceleration on regular bikes, where the power limit is the human.
I really don't get such low power limits on E-Bikes
Difference of needing a license to operate.
