Honeywell E-Bikes

[DAD@]

I bought two El Capitan Honeywell E-bikes two years ago. They have actually been pretty good but last year I burned the motor out in one of them. Got a replacement under warranty. Last week the motor seized up again and this time when I contacted Honeywell I was told they have no motor in stock and have no idea when they will get one. Also, all their bikes on their website are on sale (eg. $2,300 dropped to $843 (CDN$))....looks suspicious. Anyone know if we are looking at the end of Honeywell e-bikes?

From the people who bring you high end heating appliances but also sell the same parts off brand.

Maybe they will do the same with the bikes?

Well - I found a brand new Honeywell El Capitan motor and wheel assembly that has never been used for my bike on Kijjii here in Calgary. I guess the guy bought three for his family and himself through some special and got the bikes delivered only to find out it did not include the batteries??? WTF, sounds odd? The batteries are about $500 bucks each so he opted for some even cheaper Chinese e-bikes. When I tried to get a new motor from Honeywell they told me there were none in stock BUT I could get the rear wheel assembly with the motor for $650CDN. Crazy as they are advertising an entire bike with the battery for about $850. I got the new wheel and motor for $190, it's working fine so all good. Sent a message to Honeywell that am happy with the bike and all the great rides I have had but NOT impressed with inability to get parts. May be a common issue with other brands, and won't make much difference, but felt good to vent.
