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 really dislike when "dropped" is used this way. Can't tell if they mean releasing a new product, or removing an old one from sale. My mind always defaults to the latter.

I mean, that's the most relevant information. It's an ad, so it should have the price upfront.

It's an ad

Are we going to create a lemmy post for every press release, for every company?

There's no discussion, no review, just an interview with The CEO.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I just added the price, because that's the most relevant information.

Do you make your own ebikes from scratch?

There are many ebike manufacturers. Why should I hear about this particular one just because they want to fill a gap in their range of products.

Are these the top reviewed, best value for money ebikes? Are these the brother printers of ebikes? If not, this post is just a shilly advert.

seems like a good value.

wish there was a 1000w class 3 variant, but rad sticks to class2 for most.

I heard they use some proprietary parts though, which kinda sucks IMO.
