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 see the world rapidly realizing it doesn't need to pedal its bikes anymore. I can't see it adding pedals to things that have already had them removed...
They can go anywhere a bike can and can carry a decent amount of cargo, whereas NEVs are limited to only roads with a speed limit of 30 mph or less. That's my thinking anyway.
It's a fair point that there are different laws in different countries (or states) when it comes to PEV's and those could affect what people buy. But I still don't see it. Bikes have been around for a very long time, as has bad weather. If covered bikes were going to be a thing, they would be already.
