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.

Hey, another company that wants to make bike shaped things, rather than a functional bike.
Where do you put a front or rear rack on that thing? Basket? Or water bottles? Or better fenders? Do those unconventional handlebars even have circular tubing to mount a bike computer?
Who is their target market?
People with lots of money?
But it's not an expensive e-bike @ approx. $3400.
Someone with money to burn won't buy this. And someone looking for an ebike won't want a faux urban ebike with little to no utility factor.
Seems like a strange product. Where does it fit in the ever growing market of ebikes?
