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.

Yeah, but those people can -usually- handle the speed because they are pushing for it themselves. It gives them more respect for the speed. It's getting too fast without realising how fast that becomes dangerous. And i see that a lot
I've definitely seen people do dumb shit on regular bicycles plenty of times, but yeah, I suppose it is more frequent on ebikes. Where I live, scooters seem to be the most frequent offenders of doing dumb shit though. I figure it's because they're more popular among younger people who just do dumb shit because they're young (I know I did, kind of amazed I didn't die).
