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.

Following a successful Indiegogo for a long-range folding ebike in January, Chinese e-mobility outfit Mihogo has returned to the platform with a lightweight commuter. The Air's carbon fiber frame is jam-packed with batteries for up to 128 miles per charge.

Wow these "lightweight" bikes are 50-60 pounds. I'd be worried about hitting bumps on a carbon frame with that much weight on it. Are most ebikes carbon frame now?

'jam packed with batteries' doesn't seem to be a very safe thing to say. May be I'm a bit biased after seeing a bunch of videos of electric cycles bursting into fire in elevators.
