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.

Fitter community? My e-bike arrived today, rode 12 km without breaking a sweat on the automatic mode, while there'd be sport and turbo mode as well above it. (Am guessing automatic mode uses turbo when at some times)

If you want a workout, then go with a manual bike aha, you'll need a shower when arriving at work.

The e-bike is just brilliant though. Very safe, smart system that chooses how much power is needed like when going uphill. The bike is 30 kg but it's barely anything. Braking and starting again doesn't put strain on the knees.
