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 bought a mid drive with a small motor because I wanted to put in some effort. If I had gone in with the idea that I was going to buy an electric motorcycle with pedals, I'd also be disappointed at the current crop of ebikes. There are some gems out there, but a 250w hub isn't going to do mush for you unless you already live somewhere nice and flat.
