@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?

Bosch active line 2nd gen / 2015: re-greased the gears at approx. 15000km as there was noticeable gear noise. No issues after that. Swapped to a refurbished 2nd gen performance line motor at 27000km as I had to remove the motor anyways to replace the battery cable that was corroded due to salt water 2 years earlier.
The original battery is at approx 22000km and ~10 years and one battery cell has low capacity now (bike switches off at approx 50% indicated charge).
Had a BMS board failure with a battery that was just 3 years old (Fagor Schottky 2A 60V used in the 5V supply of the CAN controller, BMS chip and microcontroller). Fixed this myself (<10 bucks instead of ~700 bucks for a new battery).
No "professional Bosch certified bike shop" would've done what I did to keep it running/extend its useful life. They just swap components and want a lot of money for it and if its old just buy a new bike....
