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.

A 75 mph trike sounds... questionable,

I can't wait to see their 100 mph unicycle .. coming soon no doubt.

I feel like e-unis (which are real and very fast btw) would actually be safer, at least when it comes to cornering.

Once I was passed by a motorbike while on the highway, it must have been around 100 mph while I was at about 60 ... and on top of that, they were doing a "wheelie", meaning that motorbike was basically turned into a unicycle !
Yes, people are crazy like that.

Every time I see one of those, I say "Meat crayon" out loud. No one else can hear me. It's for my own amusement.

I guess you guys don't go to beach towns where every Boomer has a Polaris Slingshot who could not afford a Corvette.

I certainly don't. I didn't know that.
