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.

Psh, they're just ripping off Fiidoodoo or Engweeb or Goatrash whatever other random assortment of letters got slapped on the design.

Yeah, they're not even changing design. Just call it some feature of an internal combustion engine and call it done.

Any advices? Does it seems good and affordable?

A good conversion kit on a solid used bicycle, REI's co-op bikes I've heard are decent, or hit up your local bike shop and see what they have: Getting something that can get service, parts, and repair is important. Stick to bikes that look like bikes, use standard parts, come from established bicycle brands, etc.

Hope it helps! For my first ebike I bought a folding fatbike from an jumbled letter company and wish I'd saved up for a better ebike from a more reputable company.
