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.

Something I didn't see in the article is a note on battery quality, if buying from a discount brand, make sure to look into more information on the battery to see if it is properly certified. There have been far too many reports of ebikes catching on fire from faulty batteries.

for sure. my wifer and my ebikes are entry level and have generic aluminium frames but the battery is Samsung

If you don't see the full battery info specifically listed, it's safest to assume it's poorly made
