Bike shop worker here: not only are the direct to consumer Asian eBikes shoddily built pieces of shit with proprietary parts galore, but we refuse to intake non mainstream brands’ eBikes for this reason. Worst shit
Yeah I have the feeling a lot of them are as bad or in some cases worse than bicycles upfitted with gas engines.
I bet people got super upset when they heard what replacement parts cost. Also, these e-bikes are heavy AF. No way you could just put them on the work stand.
