    Pinion Motor.Gearbox.Unit (MGU)

    Same, that should not be happening. Nothing should be interfering with pedaling when the power shuts off

    Pinion Motor.Gearbox.Unit (MGU)

    It does not sound right that it would block the pedals when reaching the limit of assist. I would suggest contacting the vendor and or pinion and press the issue with them, to figure out what is wrong with your bike, rather than assuming it is normal...

    my parent ask me for money, I need advice

    Assuming you can afford it, If you do not trust the reason they want money, you can just offer to pay directly for the expense you agree with.

    How does PAS work on the Zen Photon?

    The basic principle of a torque based pedal assist is that it delivers a power proportional to your own input. The PAS level you choose normally determines what that max power is, but the actual power depends on how much you put in. That said, there are many subtilities in the settings and the...

    No it does not explain it. If a price can go from $1,500 to $11,000 for the exact same service in the exact same area, someone is screwing you. As for the liability insurance yes, it is a very small part of the problem, but there would be ways to control it. Unfortunately nothing is being done...

    Healthcare insurers in the US don't help you pay, they basically just negotiate a discount over whatever price the provider decides to charge. The result is providers that inflate their prices to keep their profits high even after the discount. Medicare is the only half way decent system, where...

    All of it, Insurers, hospital, clinics, Pharma..... The prices they practice is insane and out of any rationale, and the opacity and arbitrary nature of them is borderline fraudulent. At this point it belongs in the racket category. It is the result of a system based on greed over a few decades...

    While you are right on principle, the problem arises when misfunctioning society and corruption give people the sense that some people are above the law. Anger and desperation start to rise, until at one point it gets out of control and things explode....... The healthcare system in the US is...
