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.

The pedals are additionally used as a controller to engage the electric motor & make it move (because that is "the electric bike").
And one can still paddle without moving just by holding the brakes (to just fill the battery).
The pedals are still needed to generate power for the battery, regardless if the paddling motion also activates the electric motor (electric bike) or not (electric scooter).
