So, where I live I'm too scared it would grow legs when I'm in store shopping. What do you use for a lock/security? Or are you in one of those places people act right?

I use a secure D lock and it has a built in frame lock that locks the rear wheel to the frame.

We have someone that tools around on one of those in my town. I'm always jealous when I see it!

That would be far too vulgar a display of power.

And I can Lug those things with a normal, muscle powered, bike with a 100$ trailer. And the best part is, I can use that bike to go anywhere without a trailer, and it's not big and unwieldy.

I don't know about that, carrying heavier things in a trailer can be pretty precarious and having electric assist when you're carrying a lot is pretty great. Grocery shopping on my ebike is definitely easier and way faster than it is on my mountain bike.

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.
