Agree. My area's crawling with cheap DTC ebikes. I think their prospects for repairs and replacement parts are pretty dim, making them effectively disposable. But proper disposal won't be easy, as they're full of hazardous materials and things that aren't readily recyclable.There will be mountains of cheap ebikes in the not too distant future.
Maybe I'll pick their bones -- like what I do now, feasting on the heaps of discarded aucoustic bicycles.
What will become of the cast-offs? Abandoned any old place like those !@#%& rental scooters? Tossed off cliffs or into lakes when no one's looking? Will ebike salvage become a business model?
