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 like that cargo bike but damn 6k? That's close to cheap car territory.
I think that's the manufacturer's thought too, if it's a car replacement with much lower upkeep costs, they should be allowed to charge as much as a cheap car.
Good thing the bike has low ongoing costs compared to a car: no fuel, insurance, and low maintenance costs.
Over a year, a car costs thousands just to operate.
Plus you're comparing a brand new bike, which will go with little maintenance for years, to a cheap car, which will break down next month.

It's still a large upfront cost.
So is a car.
No one is saying it's not. Your statement's implication is that because follow up costs are so low that the upfront is negligable, but that's fallacious as it's still significant and potentially out of reach for someone that wasn't planning on spending as much as a car upfront.
I'm gonna say the same thing after my cat wakes up:
"Ooooo big stretch."
Have a hard time holding conversation past 1 comment?
In this case, when I wrote "You got all of that", my statement's implication was that I read your whole comment.
Having a hard time comprehending any comments? Maybe I should type slower for you.
Sure dude. Whatever you gotta tell yourself to assuage your delicate ego.
Citron ami goes for arond 8k in Europe, but I'm sure someone could find cheaper used.
And yeah taxes, fuel, and maintenance are more, but most consumers badly underestimate those costs.
