You know I'm not going to stop hating ebikes just with the addition of features. They've brought the worst parts of car culture to the trails and added children on electric fucking motorcycles to the mix. You should learn to fucking pedal that fast if you want to go 20 on a bike trail, not just press a button and yell "get out of my way" at actual pedestrians.

Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles, heelies, or an office chair: Whatever floats your goat, this is all things micromobility!
"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.
micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

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.

Class 3 ebikes are awesome. Looking forward to the new designs! Though the smartphone integration is an active downside, and remote unlock is useless fluff imo, as you should be locking up your bike anyways. Having a good mirror is almost more important than radar. I wish that stuff could be removed to lower the price....
That said, I'm glad to see more 20x3 in (or 4in) ebikes in a portable, city form factor. It makes a lot more sense than long but thin 27in wheels that can get jammed in cracks in the concrete, storm drains, or tram/train tracks.
