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.

It's too fast and too dangerous for me, considering I'm not sitting in a cage designed for crashes. I also don't like wearing a full face helmet all the time, and the thick clothes suck in summer. It would also have to make me drive on the road instead of bike lanes, and a lot of my ways are on gravel like ground and through woods, up and down the hills, taking shortcuts between places. I use it for long and very short distances like going to the shop a kilometre away.
An e-bike is still a bicycle when the battery runs out.
It has cheaper replacement parts, isn't as heavy and doesn't need registration or insurance.
I like riding my bike, in every weather besides thunderstorms, I just don't like working against the wind and uphill, and an e-bike cancels both out.
I ride about 7000 km each year with it.
