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.

To be honest, I do not see a motorcycle that's limited to 45mph doing well in the US. For people living in cities where the speed might be slower, an ebike may make more sense.

But once you start getting away from city centers traffic gets faster. Standard thoroughfares are 45mph here and people regularly speed.
