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.

You can get an e bike for less than $500 now.

That's less than a regular bike costs. Is it any good at all?

They are ok. Heavier, not super nice. But comfortable enough for 30 min or so.
