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.

That is some very helpful information and points to think about, thank you.
Unfortunately, the reason I would so benefit from an e-bike or trike is disability which impacts my muscles. So I would struggle with the heavy duty locks and chains, and even moreso with having to bring my bike with me everywhere.
There is a nearby light rail station which has a few bike lockers. I don't think they're usually taken up, but I know they are narrow. I'm thinking of renting a couple of e-bikes and seeing if that could be a good option.
