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.

A 3x3 e-trike was not on my 2023 bingo card. Nor was the phrase "wheel amidships", referring to the middle of the three inline wheels. There's also the question of whether three inline wheels could constitute a trike or remain a bike.

For inline wheeled machines, I propose that we adopt the Whyte notation from railroading to better describe the situation haha
