Before you look for a capable pickup truck – that’ll never be the first choice for a city commute

Or advertising the peak in-rush current or whatever instead of the continuous allowable power? A 750W motor probably pulls 1400 watts for a split second as it starts up under load.

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.
