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.

Instantaneous power, unregulated market (motors 250+ W readily available), small wheels, uncapped speed, underdeveloped brain.
As an adult, it was scary to ride 250 W e-scooter for the first time.
I had this discussion with a work colleage about this. I can go as fast as a decent e-bike on a decent regular bike for short bursts. I can ride a regular pushbike for maybe 500m like a NYC bike messenger on meth before my pace starts to flag, maybe 2000m before I'm too gassed to do anything but cruise. The Ebike can do it for 20 times that.
