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.

When I got my e-bike I dropped 49lbs in 6 weeks. If you use it right you can get a lot of health benefits.
That’s, like, a dangerous amount of weight to lose in 6 weeks. I hope you had a physician’s advice during that time.
Nope. It was during Covid lockdown. Just started riding 2 or 3 hours weekdays and more on weekends. I found myself craving protein a lot more and eating a bit more but the weight just dropped fast. Built muscle quickly too.
