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.

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking that. The 600wh battery isn't even removable either, and 600wh is really small for a bike that costs 12k
I've never even spent that much on a car. Maybe if I include repair bills it ends up being about that. I guess with bike there's no insurance or gas but it still seems bonkers for a fraction of the metal and parts with not really much innovation.
There's a point of diminishing returns with bikes that some would estimate to be much, much lower than $12,000, even for an e-bike.
And for a bike like that (e-MTB), it's even more difficult to justify the costs, because it's not a car replacement like an e-cargo bike could be.
