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.

That's the thing... Even a motorcycle is prone to physical theft, regardless of the safety measures. A couple strong people can lift even bigger bikes.
While the lack of functionality will deter a would be theif, the rest of the parts would probably still fetch a handsome sum.
It's why I hesitate on an e-bike.
