Before they do that, they should make sure that ebikes and scooters no longer are a fire- and explosion hazard. Like that ebike that blew up in a London subway station.

Actually, the regulation for electric cars are way more stringent than anything regarding bikes or scooters. Some bikes and scooters are basically mobile death traps.

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.
