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.

MODERATORS
I'm generally a fan. I see a lot more people biking around my suburban sprawling American city, and I've noticed the majority now are ebikes. Probably half of those are cargo bikes, so they really seem to be enabling more trips outside a car, and that's pretty great.
Out of curiosity, what form of cargo bike are you seeing? Regular-ish bike with racks, or something more exotic like an Urban Arrow?
Mostly long-tail bikes, with racks. The main goal seems to be to be able to carry some kids along with maybe some groceries.
