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.

The phrase 'gotta get my steps in' has become part of everyday life. But what if there were a simpler, faster way to meet your daily activity needs?

Yeah, that's fair. I've put 2500 miles on my cargo bike since I got it just over a year ago. Bike was $1700, plus various accessories, probably $2500 in total.

Replaced the tires for $100, a few tubes, maybe $20, and the freewheel for $20. I do my own maintenance so no labor.

I doubt charging was that much, it's pretty damn cheap to charge it.

I think $50 may be accurate if you ride uphill both ways and charge it in hawaii. Definitely nowhere near that for normal use.
