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.

Anything else I need?

I feel pretty safe with all this but it still honestly scares the crap out of me riding at 30+mph with cars.

Ok, where do you go for that? Do you get fit?

The bike is going it’s designed specs. It’s an Aventon Adventure 2. I haven’t modified it. I can just pedal it up from motor 20 to man power 30.

Oh, when you said 30+ I assumed you were still using the motor. You might not need to go all out if you're riding your ebike like a bicycle, but motorcycle stores can get you kitted out if you're going to be riding fast a lot in traffic.
