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 certainly do. When I had an acoustic bike, I felt like some of the hills around me were annoying to ride up, so I didn't ride as much. Now I can boost up the steep hills, and ride with no assistance the rest of the ride.
Exactly. I love my mechanical bike but my ebike has definitely been used more
yeah this is an under-appreciated aspect of e-bikes: you stop fearing exhaustion, because at any point you can just turn on assistance and take a break.
I don't even have range anxiety cause the bike is perfectly fine to ride without juice.
Unless the bicycle looks smth like this, calling it acoustic is ridiculous.
