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.

Its like the i3 with rex ("range extender") - an electric car with petrol engine generator.
But a bike.

I really like the concept (& I've been waiting for such thing to pop up in usable form in cargo bikes).
It's used in boats, ships, and other heavy machinery, but with internal combustion engines.

This is the delivery service vehicle cities need. The operator paddles the generator continuously and independently of traffic or if moving, and on their own terms (how/when hard/fast).
