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.

The bike may be able to carry 210kg - but can you still move it - and even more importantly: move it safely? I remember that guy who tried to move from one student flat to another with his fridge in a trailer on his bike. First, he needed help to get up on the bridge, and then he had an accident on the way down because he gained too much speed and his brakes could not handle it.
