For those who need an e-trike, that's actually not a bad value ($2000). We paid about $4500 Canadian for our traditional (two wheels in the back and one up front) e-trike.

But... even though I love working on my bikes, this one is a PITA to work on because of its size and weight. You can't just jack it up on a bike stand and get to the components. And taking it into a bike shop isn't easy, unless you have a van and a ramp.

So... yeah, hopefully this one is easier to work on. Looks like fun!

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.
