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.

I know many folks who dismissed Stark's initial announcement of the Varg, a 60-80 horsepower electric dirt bike intended to compete with conventional gas-powered motocross bikes, as just another ambitious EV project that would never reach the market.

It pains me that some of these awesome electric motor bikes are still hamstrung by limited battery sizes. But on the flip side, when (not if) newer battery technology becomes available, we'll know exactly what to use it for.
