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.

Wow, as much as $3000? As opposed to the comparably affordable price of a car.
Often the car is the one their parents used to drive, but the parents upgrade and the kid gets the old one. Technically it could be sold, but nobody considers that money, while the ebike is bought new (not many ebikes on the used market yet) and thus does cost real money. Nobody considers the cost of insurance or gas for the car too even though parents pay that and complain about it (do not confuse complain/talk with considering)
As much as? Oh no, the prices go much higher than that.
As someone who has lustfully gazed at one too many tandem, cargo ebikes the prices go WAAAAYY higher. :)
