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.

The problem is there aren't bike lanes, riding in the street is simply too dangerous you will be run over. Even residential streets have speed limits of 25 miles an hour and even the class 2 ebike won't give you assistance to that speaking, which is necessary for safety with your elderly or merely exhausted. People ride on the sidewalk because it's the only safe option. Nobody ever complains about how cars are extremely dangerous and responsible for most so-called ebike fatalities and we continue to allow extremely dangerous conditions not just for cyclists but also pedestrians and drivers themselves for no good reason
Yeah I agree it sucks there arent bike lanes in a lot of towns. In most places it would be absolutely fine to use the side walk, but the center of university towns are congested pedestrian walkways. For the same reason you don't want to be out on the road on your E-bike, people walking to class don't want to share the way with fast moving E-bikes. This has never been a problem with regular bikes because people don't typically sprint them through the middle of campus.
