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.

Remember, the last half of your battery is not the same as the first half. If you are relying on power, especially in remote locations, use it conservatively!
And don't rely on the "estimated range" that some devices give on the display, or the marketed range! E-scooter and e-bike manufacturers are notorious for overstating the range you get from their products, so an e-bike with "150km range" may only get you 65km in real-world scenarios.
With my e-scooter, I made sure to test the range in all kinds of conditions and riding styles, then plotted the data in a spreadsheet to come up with a reasonable estimate. Even though it has a rating of 65km range, I can reliably get 45km no matter how I ride, just because I did the math.
Funny enough, the "eco mode" on my e-scooter doesn't actually get you much more range, but it makes the ride feel terribly slow and sluggish.
@_haha_oh_wow_ ... i learned this the hard way when I decided to ride mine in 90F from work. The bike starting running hot and I could smell it... it was already running low anyway. I still wonder what that the owner of the home that I laid out on their lawn thinks of me to this day. I needed the shade tho lol
