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.

It can be charged on solar, giving independence from anything. He even mentions that he uses about 200 watts of solar to charge his bikes up off-grid.
