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.

How do you ride in 35c+ weather?

High pedal assist to minimize pedalling and maximize breeze. I had a summer internship where I commuted an hour each way on an ebike, even on hot and humid days like that. Honestly, I wasn't that sweaty by the end of it, as the breeze and pedal assist work wonders for keeping you cool.

I don't. It's unhealthy to move much at these temperatures.
