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.

Difficult sell, because the engines don’t cost much, don’t need much maintenance and mostly importantly, don’t use much fuel.

They will also outlast a lithium battery pack which would cost nearly as much as the entire bike to replace. Although it appears this system offers a battery exchange service? Hopefully that works out because the short lifespan and high cost of lithium batteries are still what holds them back from being viable in many situations.
