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.

Battery budgeting is perhaps an intermediate skill in that you need to understand how your bike and battery works, but its a necessary skill. Low assist levels for longer is usually much more efficient than 0 assist followed by fuller assist.

I usually do! My ebike is single speed, so it's pretty fine unless I need to go up steep hills.

I was still at 50% after a 45 mile ride. And I usually only charge it to 85% ish. :)
