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.

Honestly, I'm waiting for market saturation. There are so many bikes entering the market, I think in a couple of years we'll start seeing a robust second-hand market with decent mark-down. Even if you have to shell out for a new battery, the BMW effect (premium entry price, steep second-hand discount) will happen with some of these.
Anyway, I'm hoping. I have a decent non-electric that I'm fine riding until the novelty wears off, and the inevitable new-technology price adjustment happens.
I have an electric bike (it's cheap but I like it well enough) but I still regularly ride my unpowered bicycle that I've had for many years and I love it.
