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.

I feel attacked by the statement that diy builds are the biggest risk. Mine is definitely better than the budget prebuilts I've tried and one of those while it wasn't a fire did have a battery failure. I'd actually be tempted to go even cheaper on the motor. I got a cyc photon but I actually prefer the modded tzds2 on my brothers bike for a few reasons.
