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.

That's interesting. I paid a bit over a grand (a lot of money, sure) for what amounts to a full-on scooter with pedals. Seemed amazingly good value to me! For information, I'm not in the USA and the e-bike comes from a certain large hegemonic Asian country.

I only paid $950 for my Ride1up Portola. There's offerings for around $1000 still.
