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.

One of my buddies is built huge too, he rides an ebike though.

Some of those have really low weight limits too though, my ebike is 250 pounds but I'm comfortably under that.

There are, but mine are 330 and 355lbs(I'm around 200, but like room to haul stuff. Dedicated cargo bikes can do even more.

My e-bikes are nothing special either, just a Portola and EP2 Pro
