How many stories have you got?

I'm trying to find out the statistics. How many cheap e-bikes gets sold, how many of those sold require repair/warranty?

Do you know the numbers? How many cheap e-bikes have you purchased or owned?

I've purchased seven of tcheap e-bikes directly from China through Alibaba since 2017, non have them have issues that require warranty or repair for electrical parts.
I've gotten flat tires, worn brake pads, even replaced chains, but those are just consumables on any other bikes.
I don't abuse these machines like the cheap e-bike delivery folks in Manhattan that I encounter every single day.
They operate their cheap e-bikes in any weather, all hours of day and make a living on those machines.
If their machines are not reliable, I doubt most of them would keep using them.

If you have specific experience on cheap e-bike failures that you've experienced personally, share the details in this thread.
What had failed, what kind of usage did you get out of the machine?
By saying: "Cheap ebikes are trouble. Period." without sharing any experience, that's not helpful.
