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.

E-bikes can be great: I still ride my regular bicycles too, but on days where I'm in a hurry, am beat up from rides, or have to haul a lot uphill, e-bikes have been fantastic. I have a Ride1up Portola with a front rack.

I've decided that my next bike is going to be a cargo ebike, they just look so useful and it would be nearly free to ride around on.

Omnium and Tern make great cargo bikes, but with big pannier bags and a front rack, my Portola has effectively become a mini cargo bike.
