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.

Are these road legal anywhere for an ebike? 1000w would be classed as a motorcycle here. Sure a lot of people ignore the laws and ride motorcycle classed vehicles like an ebike but there is then a risk that it gets taken away.

I assume they're for off road use only.

What is the realistic use case for that then, I guess it varies by country. Not sure if its legal to use it on the road with the motor disabled (or limited?) until you get to somewhere off road.

Ripping around the farm instead of using a dirtbike or quad? Recreational? I imagine they'll dial it down in other models if it gets wider adoption.
