Anyone else notice this?

When newbies come here asking for bike advice choosing between a bunch of cheap $500 eBikes, they just CANNOT hear that they're junk.

Then, the sub is filled with questions on how to solve all the stupid quality problems that come up in the cheap ChiComm eBikes.

It's clearly a causal relationship.

Newbies; spend a bit more, even if you have to stretch, and get a decent eBike to begin with, and save yourself a lot of headaches. Buy once, cry once. Buy cheap, buy twice.

I'm not saying you need to spend multiple thousands of bucks, but at least do your homework on how a bike company is rated AFTER the sale and in terms of customer support. Anything less is a big gamble.
