@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?

@EverydayMoggie @bikenite A6. I don't use e-bikes a lot but thankfully have had no problems with the motor. There do appear to be some small problems with the battery system that probably have something to do with not charging it often enough.
@ascentale @EverydayMoggie @bikenite some battery chemistries will die quickest when charged from 80% to 100%.
Unfortunately most bike batteries are very hard to short charge, and the maximum range isn't such overkill that most want to start every ride/day with a full battery.
@LovesTha @ascentale @EverydayMoggie @bikenite The other question is: do you live somewhere cold enough for your bike to get below freezing? Good batteries will have controllers that sense it's too cold and refuse to charge because that _will_ damage the battery.
@LovesTha @ascentale @EverydayMoggie @bikenite Some of us like it cold, that's why. ^_^
(Some of us come with what I call "the complete cold weather package" which means we'll shovel snow in shorts but literally pass out in temperatures Southerners consider "comfy." We have a ... definitely more northern habitable band. xD )
