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.

This will be the final nail in the coffin for Rad. Especially since they're likely going to be sued since they aren't offering refunds at all (even though they claimed they would offer discounts. where are the discounts if they were willing, why did they go away once the CPSC said it wouldn't be acceptable??)

It's sad, really. PE strikes again. I was about to start riding my Rad again after I broke my leg a few years ago. My battery isn't on the affected list, but I don't really trust Rad after this. I'll probably dispose of the battery and sell the bike with no battery.
