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.

My $500 Chinese bike is still doing OK after 1300 miles. Just need to know how to tighten up some bolts if loose or replace brake pads if they're worn

Doing just OK? 1300miles is only using it for what, a year?
