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 prefer my normal bike to my e-bike... Granted, the e-bike is a cheap Decathlon one...

I guess you're right that cheap cadence sensored ebikes might not feel that great, especially to people used to nice pushbikes.
