Is 15,000 km a normal lifespan for an electric bike? That's not very long (3 or 4 years!).

For the moment, I don't ride a lot since my motors have problems...!

It really depends. The motor can give up at that mileage or a way later. My Vado SL has over 18,000 km on the odometer and shows no signs of wear.

The battery can give up in 3-4 years if heavily used. Well, my own yearly mileage is 8,000 - 11,000 km!

That seems pretty normal. All batteries work this way.

That seems less normal.
I mean, I can't buy two new e-bikes every 4 years. :|

If the motor fails, you can order replacing it
