  Not really. It’s one of the trek ones. Fuel if I had to guess off memory and looking at pics.

    They look indeed very hard to service. Way too many screws, hidden cables, and propriety parts.

    I’m currently looking for a non e-bike as my 2nd runner and the manufacturer. I compared their mountain ebikes with the treks and they look so much cleaner and easier to service.

    So the article is wrong that it’s mainly the price that makes the difference.

      Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂

      I have a RadPower bike. It seems to be pretty straightforward to repair the normal bike parts. Not sure how I would replace the motor when it goes though.

  Cheap E-Bikes seem more easy if you are willing to get into the wiring. A lot of them use very similar parts in terms of Hub Motor, Controller, Battery
