What I believe to be a legitimate critique of e-bikes is the issue of recycling/disposal. These things are being built fast and evolving fast. Will there be backwards compatible batteries? I kinda doubt it. I feel like the manufacturer should bear some responsibility when it comes to recycling or decommissioning the bike, when that time comes. As more and more battery powered convenience crap floods the market (Lime scooters for example) I see more and more batteries going to the landfill.
