Mine is pretty sweet… The tires made it much more comfortable to ride in general and having the motor for the assist on hills is frikken amazing. Really helps prevent the deterrence against using it as a bike.

The motors have quite the kick too… I expect the urge to get into trouble is great.

No, they share the blame proportionally depending on who was going the fastest.

Yeah, they’re basically electric motorcycles, and it makes sense that’d they’d be held.

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.
