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.

What is the “cc” measuring here? Volume of the battery?

The bike has a Horsepowerer/KW equivalent for a 125cc petrol engine.

UK/European motorcycle market is broken up into three segments all with weight/power restrictions an licensing requirements.

A1: 11kW, 0.1kW/kg, 125cc maximum A2: 35kW, 0.2kW/kg, and must not be derived from a vehicle more than twice its power, A: unrestricted

Barrier to entry on A1s is very low.

Yeah it is a hub motor they are terrible at low speed and high speed. It is like ICE that is stuck in 3rd gear.
