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.

For me, it replaced car trips, I get much more incidental exercise with the e-bike because I actually prefer to take it instead of the car for most of my in-town trips, and, well, I hate riding a bike and was shocked by how much I love riding the electric bike. So before I would walk if something was close and I didn't have to carry much, but take the car if going more than a mile or so, or carrying groceries. Absolutely would not bike, so uncomfortable. Now I use the e-bike for those errands I previously used the car for.
