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.

This is an exciting prospect for the price! That said, I'm somewhat skeptical how the hub drive motor will fare in tricky uphill terrain, in terms of torque. IMO, a mid-drive motor would be more ideal, but I won't fault them for bringing more options to market.
Just about any mid drive would undoubtedly be better than a hub motor, but even on my shitty, heavy EP2 Pro from ENGWE can climb OK on a 750w rear hub. Helps to pedal of course (especially on steeper hills), but it's still easier and faster to climb with (when powered) than my 21 speed hybrid. I would imagine this can get up most hills with a modest amount of effort even if mid drives beat it all day long.
