The issue is that these fundamentally are dangerous for other trail users. Calling them e-bikes is extremely misleading. This guy seems relatively respectful but I’ve seen others who ride like maniacs and endanger people.

Some people call damn near anything an ebike and insist they're correct: If it doesn't have pedals, then it is 100% not an ebike.

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.
