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.

An analysis from Upway found that an e-bike is 68 times cheaper than driving a car.

Please keep in mind that Upway is an e-bike seller!! Of course they'd be releasing articles like that!

Other than that, they're probably a good choice to buy from. The prices are pretty fair and their customer support is in that very lenient "We're a new startup that needs to establish a good image at any cost" phase. I bought a Neomouv Kayso 2 N7 (actually N8, I'm pretty sure it was a production misprint) from them for what ended up being 900€ (with 150€ student discount and 50€ off after it arrived damaged, but they also refunded the cost of all repairs).
