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 startup is releasing a remarkably cheap motorcycle. For $1,000, Africans get a motorcycle with 60 miles of range and a 56 mph top speed.

As of now, Zeno is targeting Africa and India with pricing roughly equivalent to $1,000 for the model with the battery subscription. Zeno says it’s selling the first 5,000 battery subscription-based units in India for about $750 before the price goes up to $1,000.

It's $30 to get access to their battery distribution network, which is optional. That might be a pretty good deal for some if the network is good enough, but you could just buy everything yourself and charge at home/work/etc without the sub.
