It can be smart and ensure longer battery life by not overcharging weaker parts of the pack. You never have perfectly even drain even if you use just 2-3 batter

It can be smart and ensure longer battery life by not overcharging weaker parts of the pack. You never have perfectly even drain even if you use just 2-3 batteries. It can be just a gimmick to ensure you use proper TM cells instead of generic ones, in same vein phone chargers are split into manufacturer's and the rest, regardless of quality/power.
Vendor lock-in has been done successfully in the past and brands like Apple don't get hurt by it. So why should e-bikes be different.

- pxtail 5y ago> people arrive to be better, rather than pull the same old bullshit to protect profits Of course not, batteries for electric cars, bikes etc. will be locked down as hard as possible and new ones will cost 2/3 of the new car price - sometimes replacement will not be available even from manufacturer which in effect will send perfectly good car to the junkyard - you can see this playbook in action right now with old Nissan Leaf.
