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.

The Heritage Spirit Scrambler is now available for pre-orders and starts at $25,473. This ridiculously overpriced motorcycle is a joke and here's why.

So, for the price of more than two Triumph Scrambler 900s, you get an electric bike that gets up to its top speed of 28 mph "in an instant", and has a 49.7-mile range, which makes it "ideal for leisurely jaunts".

I remind you once more that this bike costs more than $25,000.

Wow, it's worst than an electric motor scooter.

Damn, it costs even a lot more than my Zero (which I like a lot). On top of that, it's basically a moped with limited range (ok, halfway decent for a moped, but come on).

That said, if this kind of look is your thing, RGNT has you covered for less money, while offering more range.

That's terrible range for a moped!!

Yeah, I’ll just keep using a fork or whisk for my eggs, thank you.
