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.

Starting at $2,000, if you're wondering. That was buried pretty deep in the article.

The one-year warranty is a shame. Otherwise, it seems like a good offer.

This looks cool, but I think I'd still rather have a belt mid drive with a nice IGH instead. Probably going to end up building one eventually.

Shit, this might be my next bike...

Same! I was looking at getting a Trek ebike but this just blows it out of the water.

I also want to get a Priority 600X, but it's more expensive and unpowered so now I'm not sure...

I wouldn't mind getting a 600x myself and I 100% blame Ryan Van Duzer lol

pretty good product for the price IMO

I'd want to know more about that gearbox and the longevity of that carbon chain.

why so cheap, now?

They claim kings of power to weight ratio with the One, but 750w rear motor? well, call me skeptical there. it's also 55lbs, which, while on the light side of consumer ebikes, is a far cry from many of the 35-50 lb models from more expensive brands.
