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.

For me I've been riding my new mten5 around a lot. It gets about 20 miles of range and will happily cruise at 20mph (max is somewhere over 30).

I also have an ebike, escooter, and 3 other electric unicycles (EUCs) but this little ripper has been my favorite this week.

Don't have any electric vehicles, but my bicycle stays the favorite week after week. Small playful trail bike is just a crapton of fun to commute or whatever. Fancy a route through forest? No problem. A steep staircase? Awesome! It can take anything you can possibly throw at it on your route or detour

It's not very efficient on asphalt or gravel but the fun makes up for it
