@dang: This submission links to a PR site written by the company producing the product.

As per the new policy introduced here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33884441, should this url be replaced by a third-party site we just googled?

For example, here's one I just googled which provides useful extra context about the company and the safety record of their previous products: https://www.geekwire.com/2022/rad-power-bikes-launches-radtr...

It's just commercial spam. Electric trikes are not news.

There are not many companies that make etrikes, especially none remotely as big as Rad. It is quite big news for one of the largest ebike manufacturers to start making one, as it up until now has been a tiny niche with only expensive models from small companies. Doesn't mean that the URL shouldn't be replaced by a third-party site, but I certainly consider this newsworthy.
