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.

From transforming daily commutes to bridging the gap for non-cyclists, e-bikes are the most significant evolution in cycling since the mountain bike—and that’s a win for all.

I agree with this. Using an E-bike for commuting or whatever is fine. Using an E-bike on a small walking trail while whipping past pedestrians at 35 MPH is just awful. Why are you even there? Too fast to appreciate the view and not real exercise because there's not enough distance to actually increase your heartbeat. Go somewhere else or use a different mode of transportation.
