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 think, waiting for actual experience reports is going to be better. The air resistance of a bike is lower, so the effects of going faster are reduced. Of course, though, the battery is going to be smaller, so maybe it still requires optimizing fuel efficiency as much as possible.

Bikes are not very aerodynamic. A car has much better airflow because everything is enclosed. Of course bikes do have less front end area and so they do fairly well, but a good car isn't far behind despite being much larger.
