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.

I wonder who might benefit from attempting to steer people away from e-bikes and towards hydrogen, instead of technology that already works and might decrease car usage.
To build on that - despite bike companies trying their hardest to over complicate things - e-bikes are fairly straightforward to build, maintain and modify.
Tons of great (and safe but not cheap) DIY kits out there too which help make old bikes new again.
My e-bike is an old 90s MTB with a 220km range ( at the lowest assist level and 32km/hr top speed). That doesn’t include the benefits I get from regen braking when riding it in urban / suburban areas.
