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.

I don’t have an opinion about the brand, but will they be around in 5 or 10 years to offer replacements for their custom battery shape? If not, the value of the bike will be close to zero.

This. I am really, really tired of custom battery shapes in the ebike market. They are one of the most important parts of the bike and if they can't be properly serviced then it's just an acoustic bike with extra weight.

We need standardized ebike batteries
