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.

People associate scooters and mopeds with being on the road with cars. By calling it an ebike they are making it clear what use case they intend for the bike. Hence why the promo video shows it being used in bike lanes and a couple having fun near a waterfront, that's the type of stuff you do on a bike not a moped.
