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.

It is wild to me that the sticker price on this bike is $12,499 CAD when you can get a normal bicycle for under $1000, a normal non-cargo e-bike for $1-5000, or a used EV for like $20000.

Are cars being subsidized that much that you can justify making a bicycle that costs over $10k and market it as a replacement? I bought my current car for $16k, and if you put them side by side and told me the difference in price was three thousand dollars I wouldn't believe you.

Honestly, I don't care about why, I just agree. That price is insane.
