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.

Nice, but I would get a reputable bike brand, just to have support for 10years

I would take it a step further. Unless you are ready to do all your own repairs, buy from a company with a dealer network and a location near you.

edit: I hear you thinking "but for that same price I could buy two cheap Chinese import ebikes." Yes, and they will both be collecting dust inside a year unless you fix them yourself.

Any bike shop can repair a cube ebike

Okay, thank goodness. I can give you their number, maybe you should let them know they can work on my bikes.
