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.

With so little weight I doubt it has good traction for towing.

The weight of the bike itself has little to do with traction, the tires are a bigger factor. Plus, if you're looking to haul or tow heavy stuff, a road bike is not ideal anyways. You would want to get a cargo bike if that was a big concern.

To further that, any product without a price is absolutely not worth anything to me or the company "selling" them.

You want my money? Don't make me do research to find the price.
