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.

Cycling keeps you warm. Riding on an ebike does not.

That depends on how much power you are putting into it yourself versus what you have the battery add. On flat surfaces with no wind, I ride my eBike just like a normal bike with no power from the battery. Uphill into the wind? Yeah the battery is going to help me.

You still have to pedal all the way and that keeps the body warm.
