I've come to talk with you again, haha :)
Of course it's got nothing to do with the fact that it's electric. That's just one technology among many others. The problem is with today's business, design, engineering, manufacturing and marketing culture. Indoctrinating people with safety while not giving a flying fanspin about it, they only care about the short-term profit by maximizing sales, and other than that, nothing else. That's TRWTF here.
Fair point about not buying new stuff. As a 35 year old (post-)punker and free spirit who would sure as hell ride a vintage motorcycle (if I could afford that, but has a fleet of Dutch pedal-powered beauties including a cargo trike), I buy only secondhand, and would stick to my guns even if I was not broke as shit.
Paywalling slow speeds? Oh c'mon, for crying out loud. It's a damn safety feature, why should ANYONE limit it?
