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.

"Super powerful motor" is a shimano EP8. Puts out 85nm. Like every other EP8 bike.

You're telling me Porsche isn't magically better than everyone else?!

No no, of course they are.

You see, the trick is spending more money for the same parts: It warps reality and makes them better because you believe it does.

It's like when orks paint things red in WH40K and it makes them go faster.

If I was gonna pile on a bit, I'd take a grab of the fact that there's a kickstand on this full suspension eMTB. Then I'd circle it in red to make it obvious.
