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 actually quite like the look of it. I wish they had a clear photo of someone riding it so we could see the proportions better.

That said, it seems really heavy for its size, at 88lbs with one battery installed. Also, only 50-mile range with one battery at the lowest assist level is not great, but understandable given its torque and hauling capacity.

Picture 3/6 on the site show 2 people standing next to them picture 2/6 shows it from the back with someone riding but chops out most of what you may have wanted to see.
