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.

This seems like a decent solution but if you are going for a longer trip a concern is water/weather if your ebike is in an open truck or on a rack like this.

I've got a Rad Wagon and a Juiced Crosscurrent and I love the bikes but I transport then in an enclosed trailer to avoid getting them wet.

Yeah, I fold mine up and stick it in the back seat.
