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.

Huh, okay, I get the article a little better now. Sorry I'm not very familiar with rules and regulations regarding electric bikes, or even mechanical bikes for that matter.
Where I live, the only regulation they have for bicycles actually applies to automobiles, they have to give bicyclists 3 feet of space when they pass. That's it. No speed limits, no helmets necessary, just use common sense and don't ride in the middle of the highway.
I'm glad to live in a very bicycle friendly city.
