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.

I can't speak as to the veracity of this market report -- the full document is only available by subscription to the market research company -- but some additional details do appear on their website for this document, published February 2024.

I will say that I'm surprised that SLA battery ebikes apparently still have market share. Guessing what the report indicates, I have to imagine that they're still useful in very price sensitive markets or where the operating temperature of SLA (-20 to 60 C) is required compared to li ion batteries (0 to 45 C).

Tariffs are going to fuck it in the US market at least.
