How good are you at troubleshooting electrical systems? If you are good at it, buy anywhere. Not so good, then it's great to have a local shop for check ups, diagnostics, and warranty claims.

Engineers can't imagine every situation that the general public can do to a product. I was an engineer at Caterpillar. No matter what we did, some owner could still destroy parts by some method. One customer kept destroying the bucket linkage on his loader. A site visit revealed that operators...

Do they automatically send the update directly to the bike, or do you take it to a dealer? I haven't had an update installed on my Bosch bikes since the day I rolled them out of the store in 2016.

17,339 lifetime eBike miles. Turned over 8,000 on my 2016 Haibike Trekking.

No, I've not melted one down. But, I never ride in high gear all the time either. Do you?

THIS is a chainsaw. I used to harvest a lot of huge urban trees for woodturning.

Not yet. 70 years old and still buying the traditional frames.

Doesn't break the bank, boatload, and cheap but good are personal qualifiers. No idea of a "NUMBER" for your budget?

Don't worry, there are plenty of use who want a bicycle feel. It's just that we aren't interested in bragging about the high speeds, voltages, and giant motors. My newest eBike, BMC City Ltd.

An attitude towards other people that is exactly what I expect from people now. "Scaring people is so much fun". Who started this kind of crap attitude? Your parents teach you that attitude?
