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 feel you. Went through with that this year ND had my drive train replaced for over 2k. 900 for the motor and work, another 1400 for the gearless transmission that stopped working. I thought about throwing it out but ultimately I despised the waste too much and same as yours the rest of the bike is in top condition.

So.. No easy choices but that's what made me realize that sustainability and repairability are what ebike comparisons should focus on
