Leaky ebike fork seals
Anyone have to deal with their leaking ebike fork seals yet? I have two RAD mini's suffering from this. I have dealt with the with my motorcycles so I know the drill of changing them out.

Not so far. Typically most forks require service every 200 hours and with air forks you do need to check pressure and pump them once and a while. If you never service stuff or have lower end parts that aren't really designed to be serviced yeah they can fail.
My Fox fork has had zero issues in at least a thousand miles (I don't remember at what mile mark I installed it at). It is designed for an e-bike and I check pressure monthly and try to keep it clean and I do use some stanchion lube once and a while (Miles Wide Wet Seal). I plan on having that fork for years and years at least until I get rid of the bike but probably will want to keep it and use it for something else if not that.
