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.

From transforming daily commutes to bridging the gap for non-cyclists, e-bikes are the most significant evolution in cycling since the mountain bike—and that’s a win for all.

Why not evolve all the way and get a motorcycle?

Motorcycles would be a step backwards in almost every aspect, except for speed. 😕

I think people will also ask motorcyclist why not just drive. While motorcycle is really good way to travel within city, cycling got an added benefits as its really good for your physical and mental health. You get your daily exercise by just riding it to places, and there is solid proof that people with ebike(at least on class 1) are still gonna put in energy on their ride and are likely to ride it further and longer, thus improve on their health.

If your purpose is only about going from point a to point b as fast as you can, then yeah go for motorcycle.
