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.

Kind of want to pick one up because they seem like quality ebikes, but I'm kind of worried about support/repair down the line.
From what I've seen, ebikes in general are a massive pain to maintain and service due to all proprietary parts and anticonsumer software locking. It'd most likely be better to get a quality analog bike and a quality conversion kit like a cyc photon or bafang bbshd.
I can only hope that right-to-repair legislation in some US States and the EU will aid the situation, but it might still be a while.
I've been looking at converting my Trek 820 ST but I still want to have a regular bike. Once I get one, I probably will convert it with a Bafang or something.
That said not all ebikes are a huge PITA to service, depends on the brand.
