I was so excited that another ebike manufacturer is adopting USB C as the input for charging an ebike. But alas, they meant that the bike can charge a phone via a USB C output port.
The wait continues.

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.

Don't set your hopes too high. Ebike chargers wattage typically starts where the most powerful USB-C chargers end.
Have a look at Ampler Bikes. That's an estonian manufacturer, and i believe they’ve recently made their first usb-c rechargeable ebike.
I'm more interested in belt-drive bicycles, and this market is much broader. Quite hard to make up one's mind, which bike to consider to buy)
