E-bike manufacturers don't do repairs down at the level of individual cells because it's impractical to do so safely. The only sensible pack repair is replacing modules. Bicycle battery packs are often implemented as a single field-replaceable module, resulting in frustrations over not being repairable.
My understanding of Right to Repair is that it would give anyone access to the same tools and parts as authorized repair centers to replace the packs/modules. That wouldn't change the risk of using a deficient third-party replacement part (which is the culprit the article suspects) or converting an authorized part to your own unverified design ("tinkering").
