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.

This full-suspension e-MTB from Canyon is built only out of carbon fiber and created with Bosch tech that's lighter for a more natural feeling on the trails

It's a "lite" class eMTB. 55nm, 400wh battery. Not that that's a bad thing, but a "full fat" eMTB is more like 85nm, 700wh. The new DJI bike is I think 110nm-ish.

The next stage in my opinion is the bikes that get rid of the derailleur entirely and have the gearing colocated with the motor. Auto-shifting where it keeps you in your desired cadence, etc.

I don't know how desired those features are going to be vs a traditional setup, but I'm running a SRAM GX AXS electronic derailleur on my bike (not the T transmission, that's yet another level) and it's pretty amazing.
