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.

Really? I grew up in the suburbs and we rode our bikes everywhere. Guess it depends on where the suburb is.

I did as a kid, but I don't think I can make a Costco trip with a bike.

Do you mean in terms of distance or hauling stuff? You might be surprised at how much you can haul especially with a cargo ebike. The range can be pretty good too (100+ miles), but if you have to travel on the highway to get there then an ebike is not capable of safely making that journey. You would want a motorcycle at that point.
