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 what I've seen, ebikes in general are a massive pain to maintain and service due to all proprietary parts and anticonsumer software locking. It'd most likely be better to get a quality analog bike and a quality conversion kit like a cyc photon or bafang bbshd.
I've been looking at converting my Trek 820 ST but I still want to have a regular bike. Once I get one, I probably will convert it with a Bafang or something.
That said not all ebikes are a huge PITA to service, depends on the brand.
I can only hope that right-to-repair legislation in some US States and the EU will aid the situation, but it might still be a while.
