I listened to the 4+ hour podcast with Chris Porter where he gave his thought in ebikes. I agree with him that ebikes seem like a half finished product with riders forking out big money to be beta testers.
They should absolutely have a transferable warranty. That being said, I’d never buy one used in their present state. Too many things to go wrong, and they will go wrong. I want to be supported by the shop/manufacturer. If they ever get to the point of being reliable, and serviceable at home I’d consider one (I’m hoping around age 60) But if I work on it, I don’t want that to void my warranty…
