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.

Reasonable trip time is 30 minutes. 4 miles is about the edge of that for most people on a regular bike. 7 miles is in that range on an ebike. Sure I have ridden by regular bike 12 miles before, but the trip took over an hour.
12 miles should definitely not take you more than an hour, thats definitely a leisurely average pace. A reasonable and realistic pace for a complete beginner biking for transport is around 15mph on a regular road bike in relatively flat terrain (less than 600 feet of total elevation)
The terrain was not entirely flat, I had several stops for traffic lights. It wasn't much over 1 hour, but it was a few minutes over. Sure downhill I went faster, but uphill I went slower. By the end I was getting tired as well and so slowed down even more.
