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.

In Germany people who were born before 1980 can ride a 25kph moped without a license, but those are kind of useless.
However a 45kph moped only needs a really easy license and if you have the car license you automatically get it, so as long as you are allowed to drive cars you can drive scooters like this too.
Wow, I can ride faster than that on my 30+lb hardtail (I've got it modified for more comfortable commutes). Even 45kph seems slow, I figured it'd be more like 50-60kph for an actual moped.
