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'd like one, but for $3,300 I'd expect a better transmission than an Alfine, that seems like Rolhoff territory.
This is the entire problem with all OTS ebikes imo. For basically any given price point, you get cheaper components and a more expensive, proprietary battery compared to a DiY build. It's a lot of money to save yourself maybe two hours of turning a wrench.
