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 Porsche Cross Performance EXC 2ND GEN e-bike is now available to pre-order. This is a more expensive model, with a carbon frame and a full-suspension system. Other features include tires from Continental and a Shimano display showing your current speed and remaining battery level.

That thinking is a bit broken. A car is a complex mechanical, electronic and geometric system, and a bike is the same just smaller. I don't see what a car brand such as Porsche couldn't do better than a bike manufacturer honestly. They have all the manufacturing techniques, the simulation software, carbon weave experts, metal foundry suppliers, designers, you name it.
