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.

Covered just 50 miles since I got it but live in a rather tiny town so range is perfect for me. First ebike but plenty of experience carrying a ton of stuff on xbikes, this thing is so rad for my use case

How do you like that bike? I see it’s on sale for $800 right now so it’s tempting to get since I’ve been wanting an e-bike

[–] jtablerd@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For 800 it's freaking awesome and lots more support than the direct ship bikes, I can take it to the REI near me for I think two years As I said don't travel to far at a time, small town, but makes riding a bike to the bar or grocer a lot better

I don't have one of these but REI in general is usually pretty reliable quality wise.

I don't own one but from what I've heard, people seem to like them.

It's a pretty sweet deal honestly. Having owned one for a while the biggest flaw is the lack of fenders. Other than that this is a great first ebike for cruising around town

Looks like a good time, keep us posted on how you like the bike and congratulations!
