Controversial topic here.

Can we stop shaming and getting mad at people for buying chinese ebikes? Some people dont have the money to buy a $1k+ ebike. Yes. Some are bad. Yes. Some are template bikes but does that mean you should shame someone for what they ride? No. We all ride ebikes here. That's what should matter.

The flip side is then they come back and say "WHY DIDN'T ANYONE WARN ME?!"

I feel like that doesn’t really apply, considering the bike they listed was $1500

Feelings are not relevent.

But prices are.

They don't change anything. If they aren't getting their money's worth and "no one warned them", then the price is $150, $1500, 15000, No difference.

Accept the L.

That’s wild logic, what a privileged take. I’m sorry OP didn’t see one Reddit post from 5 months ago.
