@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?

The eBike Motor Reliability Crisis — Here Are 3 Motors You Can Trust

YouTube

@ascentale @EverydayMoggie @bikenite A6: had an ebike for a few months, a second hand longtail with an AliExpress front hub motor. The unreliable part was the display on the handlebars, it was not waterproof.

I bought a replacement for ~$20, took it to work and sprayed the insides with conformal coating then filled the voids with acid-free silicone and closed it back up. That may have helped, it may not. But I never had more problems :)

@moz @ascentale @EverydayMoggie @bikenite ooh, I'm going to have to find a can of confirmation coating, didn't know you could get that! I have several other outdoor projects in mind that could use it like a crow box
