ES is owned by Justin, but he is not an active member, and is not actively marketing it for profit using adds etc... one of the reasons i like that place so much, no clutter, no banners, no flashy...
Yes, the large majority of the members are running high-powered ebikes, there are not too many options for powering them other than RC lipo unless you want to lug around a HUGE and heavy pack... to claim that es is promoting the unsafe use of lipo with cheap BMS's is totally wrong...... it's a discussion forum, not unlike this one, with members of all sorts, who do what they do and talk about it for the benefit of all. If you don't like it, don't read it..
aaanyways.. this is going nowhere.. so .. moving on. have a good day.
