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.

It's roughly the average speed of any road vehicle trying to get around London with traffic. The bike itself is advertised to top out at 124 mph.

yeah but you can't just keep it in the city, that's not the kind of bike people are buying to do city commuting.
