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.

Fast ebike from a sketchy company I've never heard of? No thanks, that's how I ended up with an ENGWE, a messed up arm, a destroyed $300 helmet, and a bunch of medical bills they refuse to help with.

"Its maker shared that the safe load would be 265 lb. (120.2 kg), but the maximum you can go up to is 330 lb. (149.7 kg). Both figures include the weight of the bike."

Um. Call me crazy, but shouldn't the safe load be the maximum?
