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.

360 Wh is a little scant especially for a single speed bike...

seems like a great value. not enough torque for me, and single gearing is a bit rough of limitation. But overall seems like a good product.

Tempting but I heard these guys like to use proprietary parts and no gearing is a deal breaker for me
