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.

Zeno, a startup aimed at markets in Africa and India, makes an electric bike that outperforms gas motorcycles and costs less—so customers don’t need a green incentive to buy them.

Ah man. This looks like it is likely the sort of electric motorcycle that I'd actually want. My favorite bikes have been in the 196cc (Yamaha TW200) to 649cc (Kawasaki KLR650) range and pretty no-frills. Most of them were even carbureted. The only change from what I see on their website that I'd want is a mechanical instrument cluster. It's nice to be able to see what's going on when the tank is empty.

Hopefully they release in other regions with similar price points. Having a nice electric dual-sport for fire roads that isn't ridiculously expensive or heavy would be amazing.
