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.

Vanilla is the perfect flavor. Why would anyone want chocolate?

Edit: I also imagine they'll have almost no maintenance needs, like ev cars.

I just realised that less moving parts in ev makes them need much less maintenance

Oh, definitely. I have a Nissan leaf from 2016. So far I have changed the tires, cabin filter, and wiper blades. That's it. 51k miles.

It's an analogy. The point is that maybe some people want to buy an EV even though motorcycles are efficient.
