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.

Wait until you hear about shoes! They've been used in millions of crimes! /s
Cars have ebikes handily beat. Same for motorcycles.
UK ebikes seem like kind of a sub-par transport for a criminal who needs to get away quickly now that I think about it... Aren't they limited to like 250 watts too?
