I love that these are priced to get people into this hobby. I've seen a couple guys out on the Aventon version (ramblas?) where I regularly ride.

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.

The price is good, mid-drive is good, I'm a tad confused about 250 W though, and 36 V is odd considering that other bikes in their lineup use 48 V.
Specifically, I think mid-drive really shines in mountain biking because it's substantially less fussy when changing a tire. No hub motor means no wires sticking offboard and liable to get pinched when striking a rock.
I got burned by that company once. Maintenance is a bitch, specifically the brakes, rims pinched the tubes causing flats, and they're extremely heavy even for e-bike standards.
$2095?
Get the fuck out of here. You can build your own for $500.
It’s a custom frame that includes a mid drive motor, an integrated battery, and fully internal wiring. You aren’t going to get that for $500. No idea the quality of the front fork but those alone can run for over $2000
