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.

That front linkage seems rather clever, avoiding the issues inherent to a flat-plane trike while benefitting from the straight-line stability of the two front wheels. Now, as a rider of conventional and electric two-wheel bikes, I'm probably not their target audience. But for someone who wants that stability peace-of-mind before going riding, then this might be a great match.
What I could see this being extremely useful for is snowy/icy conditions, where losing grip would normally mean falling off one's bike. But this stands a better chance, when combined with suitable snow or studded tires, at least in the straights. Turning could still be dicey on ice.
