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.

A futuristic hyper bike powered by hydrogen fuel could signify the end of electric bikes (e-bikes) for good, offering impressive refueling potential.

I've already bemoaned the non-existent journalism that exists with Ecoticias before, and my only regret is that because that prior post to Ecoticias three months ago was deleted, I cannot properly link to my earlier comment, which reads as follows:

Can we please stop linking to ecoticias? These articles are either AI-written, or have terrible copyeditors. Even just the title already shows a poor understanding of ebike terminology, as well as units. 180 Wh is a unit of energy that might describe a battery’s capacity. Whereas motors are rated in Watts (a unit of power) or horsepower for Americans.

Also, this particular topic is somewhat old, with a much better link showing up in this community last year: https://lemmy.world/post/12008344
