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.

Heat is dangerous and can kill any of us, regardless of age or fitness level. I don't mean to minimize the danger, which is very real, but as long as you stay hydrated, pace yourself, and avoid too much exposure to extreme heat, it can be safely done (especially on an ebike).
