I just sold the car for $2,000.00. So, in...

    SURFACE 604 -SLOW SUPPORT, BUT ISSUE EVENTUALLY RESOLVED SATISFACTORILY

    My story is similar to yours ,my bike had the same symptoms you're describing after 900kms I had to wait about 2 months before I paid $250.00 for a "new" battery that barely gives me a 20 kms range. Like you communicating with Surface 604 has been difficult and frustrating . Love the bike, can't...

    The True Costs of Owning and Using an Electric Bike

    No I don't do any of the work myself, I'm not mechanically inclined. In general I have found the e bikes cost maintenance information on the net totally misleading. Mostly provided by authors paid to sale ebikes.

    surface 604,no parts

    It took 10 weeks, and it's installed. i'm very disappointed by the lack of support at Surface 604. The fact that they wouldn't follow up on calls from my dealer makes me worry about their viability as a business.

    I need a reliable e-bike

    Really,for me,the real question where is the e-bike that can ride 12,000 kms a year for 3 years (40 kms a day,5 days a week) all year round on the Canadian west coast without costing me a fortune in maintenance. Anything else in my world is a toy not a mode of transportation
