Cummuter bikes don't need to be light, they need to hold laptops and be reliable.

If you don't live on the first floor and don't have an elevator, it matters a lot. There's zero chance I'd use my current ebike if I weren't living on the bottom floor. I cannot reliably safely do that. Doing basic maintenance is much harder due to the weight than for aluminum or carbon acoustic bikes, which is necessary to keep a bike reliable and safe to ride. And when you do fall, it has a lot more momentum to hurt you.

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.
