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.

That does look kinda badass, but the rear tire looks like it would be a pain in the ass to change. Also, that's a lot of money: I think I'll be sticking with my ebike for now lol.

Maybe you don't change it?

I have airless tires (Tannus) on me bicycle right now; I put them on last year, and I'll never have a bike without them again (I'm excited to see METLs!). Maybe these are similar?

Even airless tires eventually wear out.

On a semirelated note, I have Tannus Armour liners in my electric fatbike: 10/10 would recommend

Wear out, sure. But I no longer have my ride spoiled by constantly worrying about whether I'm losing air from a puncture.
