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 can't take any vehicle with a hubless wheel seriously. It's one of the biggest red flags for a bike being a disposable and intentionally unserviceable piece of shit.

It seems the rear wheel is also the motor, so maybe there's a good reason for it? Although I suspect you're right and it's just done for the style without regard for function.
