That link doesn't seem right since it is a square trade instead of allstate. Allstate is specifically listed as policy holder for walmart on the ebike purchase page.
What about keeping your tranny lubed?
Definitely not covered.
Then it may make more sense to spend that $77 on tranny lube as a properly lubed tranny will never leave you with regrets no matter how hard riden, overheated or abused.
Does that including riding it hard and putting it away wet?
Compensation for down time? I still wouldn´t depend on one to get to work.
It's hard to not be sarcastic here. But the only thing remarkable are the poor customers that somehow convince themselves, even in the face of far more experienced eBike owners, seemingly convinced a Walfart eBike is a good buy. Remarkable, indeed!
I've had 7 eBikes in 6 years (still own 5). 1 had a motor failure (failed hall sensor) at 1,600 miles. So I've had a 14% failure rate.When you consider most parts that break on any bicycle are due to misuse or poor maintenance, no brand or store will warranty that unless they want to for good will or you're an important customer, spending a lot of money every year. So the only thing to really worry about is a catastrophic failure of the drive and battery. Not a small thing, I know. What percentage of new ebikes, of any price, have complete failure?
Well taken care of, I think the odds are in favor of it turning out well. 51 to 49%? 75/25? Gotta be at least 2 to 1 of it working out
So consider the guy still owning a 4 year old bike that broke a month ago. 100% failure?
I guess it's like beauty, it's in the eye of the beholder
To me 4 years of riding would be a success. Manufactures would consider it successful if it lasted beyond the initial warranty. I wouldn't be happy with any catastrophic failure at anytime.
People will believe what they want to believe, @tomjasz , and you are correct that sarcasm won't help.
But I FEEL better not using Walmart. I find them especially egregious, given Sam built the reputation on selling USA made goods.
