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 think there can be an interesting place in the market for a four wheel electric bike. That being said, I think the “roof” is a gimmick. Anyone who has ever cycled in the rain with a little bit of wind could see that the cover will mostly have a symbolic effect.
I figured the roof fabric -- would this be a tonneau? -- was acting as a sun shade, but still, equivalent or better protection can be had with a hat and long sleeves.
