Can you promote in r/ebikes?
Careful, power is addictive
The short answer
Answer help requests with useful, technical information; if mentioning your product, disclose affiliation and avoid pushing links or overt sales outside the promo thread.
What works here
- Providing troubleshooting and technical help
- Discussing products and kits in context when genuinely relevant
- Posting promotions in the stickied promo thread or following seller guidelines
What gets posts removed
- Unsolicited promotional posts or lead generation in regular threads
- Posting direct sales links or repeatedly advertising in comments
- Using the community for recruitment or surveys without mod approval
