As an e bike rider a growing problem is a lack of repair ships. In my town there are 2 shops . Each only works on the ones they sold. There is no other place for everybody else
It’s s tough problem since a large part of the market is internet sales from random brands that are using non standard parts in many cases. Quality is sus, electronics are not UL listed, they are largely viewed as disposable , etc. Also separately I think many local bike shops have been bought by manufacturers and only service their stuff. These ebike brands need to get serious about standardizing component and building relationships with bike shops, but that costs money.
