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.

One of Honda’s upcoming electrics may feature a hole in the headlight allowing cooling air to pass through the lens to cool the LEDs and the battery behind it.

Indeed looks good and while it's reasonable to experiment with different designs becase of changes in propulsion, most emotorbikes are wtf kinda weird is that.

Also we need a way to discern between emotorbikes and ebicycles, they seem to both use the ebike label.

I think the distinction really should be about speed. My ebike tops out at 20 mph (32 kph), while emotorcycles are much faster.
