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 just wish I didn't need a motorcycle license to ride it.
Wwll, it's a motorbike, what would you expect?
One that cannot achieve highway speeds.
Ok, we call them mopeds over here. They're less than 50cc and you can ride one with your drivers licence. I think they reach up to 50kph.
If those bikes don't qualify they must have higher performance than a moped, even if they don't reach highway speeds.
According to their website the motorbike reaches over 50mph,I'd say thats highway speed? https://ridecake.com/en-US/p/osa
Osa flex is the one you want if you don't have a motorbike license.
I guess I would consider highway speeds to be over 60mph but maybe there is a significant safety risk when going over 50mph. Where I live I would need a motorcycle license for any of them. Only ebikes are an exception.
