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.

A new tariff will hit e-bikes on June 14, and costs across the US e-bike market will rise

Chinese eBikes could become more expensive. eBikes made in the USA and non-tarriff countries should remain unchanged.

This. Plenty of US companies make eBikes, and most of the very high quality bikes come out of somewhere in Europe.

I mean, yeah I’m all for it. But most of us don’t have the money to buy European/Us made e-bikes. I got mine a few months ago, thankfully. It’s a US company, but they use Chinese parts. It’s a great bike, and I got it on sale for $700. A bunch of the nice ones were like $2500+. So many of us don’t have the option of getting those.
