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.

Need to mix in a few more unit systems in there. How many hands tall is it?

That's super cheap. Urban Arrows are like $5k+.

I'm not sure they're very comparable. This is just a step-through e-bike with a rack whereas the Urban Arrows are legitimate true-to-name cargo bikes.

When the design is changed so drastically there isn't a lot of opportunity to use off-the-shelf parts to keep costs low.

Also Urban Arrow does self-identify as "top-of-the-line".
