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.

50km/s

50km/s is 3600km/h.

Mach 2,9. Man, those ebikes are fucking flying. I get why'd you'd be worried, that's dangerous

That seems like it would result in serious injury...
