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.

We need theverge to report on the verge. The article is nice enough to put the TLDR on top but here it is:

The Verge TS Pro traveled 193 miles on a single charge.

Power is provided by a hubless motor with 137 hp and 738(!) lb-ft.

The electric motorbike weighs in at a hefty 540 lbs or 245 kg.
