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.

Pushbike.
It's not a new word. Motorised bikes have been a thing for a century and the language is already settled.
But, pushbike is specific to kids (toddlers) bikes now though isn't it?
Edit: I was wrong, thanks for the corrections. Balance bike is the correct term.
The kind without pedals? "Balance bike" for the modern version kids use, or "Hobby horse" (I think) for the historical version that pre-dates pedal bikes.
