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.

These bikes are usually slower, less than 120 miles of range, and are almost double the price of a gas bike.
There isn’t really much advantage over a gas bike (and I say this as an e-dirtbike owner) just yet. Instant torque, no clutch, and much lighter are all these things have going for them. It’s not enough
And you can't really fix them anywhere but a highly specialized service dealer.
I watch a lot of bike and motorcycle touring videos on YouTube. These people have their busted bikes repaired in small African villages without any real issues. I couldn't see anyone adventure riding on an e-motorcycle.
Emotos are designed for riding near civilization, and in that case, e-bikes are better in nearly every way.
