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.

Interesting. I was unaware of that.
There's no overarching federal law firmly regulating it, just guidelines, so actual laws can vary from state to state but generally speaking, they tend to be legally distinct from the term motor vehicle as long as they fall under the class 1-3 ebike, otherwise, they probably would consider it an unlicensed motor vehicle of some kind.
