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.

Not mine lol, one day I'll get a good one though

It's worth it, as I didn't find a better way to start the day, especially during spring time!

I often opt to use my regular bicycle instead, much higher quality and good exercise! I might feel differently if I had a better ebike though

Both have their advantages. I personally moved from car commute to eBike because my commute is quite long and much too tiring to do with an accoustic bike.

And honestly I fell in love with ebikes, I think they are a great alternative! And in your case the best is to have the choice depending on the days :)

Bikes or eBikes no matter they are both super fun to ride honestly.
