@EverydayMoggie asks:

E-bike motors are not very reliable; it seems that about 25% of them fail pretty quickly.

Q6. If you have an e-bike, have you had trouble with the motor?

@ascentale @EverydayMoggie @bikenite A6: Holy shit, no. Nor do I know anyone who has, and I know several people with eBikes. That's nuts. Given the videos they're showing with the voiceover, I'm wondering if this worse in mountain bikes and/or higher power/higher class eBikes.

@ascentale @EverydayMoggie @bikenite A6 continuance: Ah, rolling the video in the background, they do have separate data, and it's MUCH worse with mountain bikes, and that makes sense.

Also, before rolling the video, I was guessing Yamaha and Bosch would be the most reliable, and basically I called it. Add in Giant though, they did quite well too in this surveying.
