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.

So… they sell ebikes from $3k-$20k? I don’t get why there is a story here? Company makes product to target different market segments…?

If they rip off some stupid rich people, fine. They will not find normal people in their customer base.

They are sure why. They spell it out in the article.

We suppose folks who look at an extra $5,000 as little more than a rounding error might be attracted to snatch one up, even if only for whatever bragging rights that come with owning one of the most expensive ebikes ever created.
