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.

Would it not make more sense to just have a speed limit?

A lot of places don't allow them on sidewalks at all.

Bikes are not allowed on side walks in most places, ebike or other wise. Side walks are for walking.
