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.

From transforming daily commutes to bridging the gap for non-cyclists, e-bikes are the most significant evolution in cycling since the mountain bike—and that’s a win for all.

Are there any clear winners in this space to consider? Shopping for ebikes feels like going on amazon to shop. Lots of options of dubious pedigree

I'm still in the shopping phase too so I don't have direct experience with this but I've read that sticking with known bike brands is a good policy. Just be ready to spread your wallet wide open.

I also read that for the purposes of getting it serviced, go with a local bike shop. Some will not do work on brands they didn't sell.
