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.

Personally I love this style of ebike. You can call it moped-style or by other names, but this is exactly what I was looking for last year when I was ebike shopping. I ended up with a Rize Blade which I love to ride around on. Similar look to this Trek bike.
The Trek price is considerably higher, but if the components are higher quality, more features, better batteries and has a better warranty then some people would be willing to pay it. Far too many of the overly reported ebike fires seem to happen because of low grade batteries and other electrical components so people are willing to pay a premium for a safer battery.
I've had a regular Trek bike for years. It's a basic one but I've had it for 15 years and it's still going strong with almost no maintenance.
Yeah I think they have a good name in the industry (I think they are part of a much larger conglomerate). I do like my Rize, but this Trek might have been near the top of my shopping list if it came out last year.
