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.

Excellent article.

the e-bike industry has remained stuck in a sprawling mess of incompatible barrel plugs, XLR jacks, Rosenberger magnets, proprietary magnetic ports, and other one-off connectors that no two companies seem to agree on

Brussels needs to step in.

That is a crazy fact. As the article highlights USB-C can do 240W!

Even though I think it would be better, unless they are forced by laws it's simply cheaper and simpler to have a standard DC barrel and PSU than support USB C and risk having unhappy customers because they're not using a proper 240w cable or charger.
