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.

Very interesting article. Makes me think, if we could adapt those light EVs in Europe and what it would look like.

There are small cars in Poland that can be driven from the age of 16, but for some reason, they have a 45 km/h speed limit instead of 50, making them annoying for car drivers. They are also unreasonably pricey. Maybe if the laws were improved, small cars and e-trikes could become a nice middle ground between conventional cars and e-bikes?
