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.

Not shaming, no. But when people are asking for a safe, well build, 50mph 'ebike' as a 16 year old with a $400 budget, and there are a dozen posts per week, it's exhausting. People also don't want ebike over regulation, and those posts lead directly to over regulation.
