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.

Just buy a new battery.

Also, use a conversion kit on your existing bike.

Either way, less harmful than a car.

That is also true.

One thing I like about Reddit/Fediverse and friends is that when someone discoveries or has the answer, they can throw information in these parts for others to find out!

In the best-case scenario - a system like this can feel almost like a tight encyclopedia!
