Online E-Bikes - is it a scam?

Its just business lol, not sure why any company would post a review on their own site that was anything less than 5 stars.
Velotric is no different than anyone else.

It not "business", it's a lack of ethics

To quote a user from the third party Facebook group for Velotric:

Unlike most business, there isn’t an option for a 3rd party collection of objective reviews on a Google business page, either.

These are product reviews that (Velotric) presenting as an objective representation of the product as a whole.
Owning the website doesn’t have anything to do with manipulating the denominator so that you have a near 100% recommended rating.

It doesn’t say “read only the good things that people are saying.”

It’s a deceptive business practice that erodes consumer trust, and it’s widespread enough that the FTC is proposing rules regarding review fraud.

If you can’t take the negative, then present customer highlights, but don’t pretend to be presenting objective scores from reviews.

How is manipulation of customer feedback that is presented as objective not deceptive?
Is deception not unethical?
