The greatest complaint I've seen in the ebike space is repairs and maintenance. Specifically, many of these new bikes use nonstandard components requiring specialized tools and trained techs. It's not a bike you can bring to your average bike shop to get serviced. This article failed to mention anything about this important consideration apart from a bit about the drivetrain.

This is actually a huge joke on the film and television industry. Back when Napster blew up the music industry was in a full panic that their industry would die while film and TV were cozy because the media was too large to mass-pirate compared to music.

The music guys figured it out. Cheap subscriptions with massive catalogues that don't disappear.

Movie and TV still hasn't figured this out.

I once worked a call centre during late shift and my manager asked us to clean the bathrooms. I told him they can hire a janitor because I won't be cleaning anything since I wasn't hired to clean. Didn't have to clean the bathrooms. Sometimes standing up for yourself works
