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.

things with bike in the name or being compared to bikes should have teh capability of being human powered. an e-bike that has no human power is an electric scooter.

This is pedal driven as well. You can see the driver using their legs in the video, essentially this is a very luxurious e-bike. It is both street and bike lane legal in germany, which requires meeting fairly strict limits in how "motorized" it is allowed to be.

thanks. I tend to not watch videos and just look at pictures. Still to expensive though.
