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 Redditor shared their confusing and frustrating story of being stopped by local police while riding an e-bike.

Wait they are invading Georgia?

For those (like me) wondering what part of Georgia, it was apparently Sandy Springs.

It's amazing how it can be right next to both Atlanta (proper) and Dunwoody, yet be so much worse.

IDK, cops in the city can be plenty bad too especially when it comes to laws regarding ebikes.

Yeah, but at least the city has increasingly-decent bike infrastructure.

Kinda depends on the city, but yeah some places are improving a bit.

No, I mean the City of Atlanta specifically is doing better, especially inside or within about a mile outside of the Beltline. I basically don't drive anymore unless I'm going somewhere like Buckhead or OTP.
