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 don't care either way, but I would like them banned on bike paths. I think once you have a motor, especially one that can travel at high speeds you belong in the street with cars, and not on the sides but fully like a motorbike. I've had way too many dudes clip me or others.
In France it's legally a bike only if the electric assistance stops once you reach 25 km/h. Anything where the motor can go higher than that (or even something where the motor can push when you're not pedaling) is considered to be a light scooter and therefore need a license plate and can't go on bicycle paths.
I thinks it's pretty fair. The only issue is that some sellers advertise those little scooters as electric bikes so some people use them without being aware they're illegal.
