That's because the battery is the most expensive part of the e-bike. All the rest of the hardware is cheap, and they don't care. They want you to have to buy their new batteries when the original ones shit out, or buy a whole new bike and restrict your ability to replace it yourself. They're treating the batteries as consumable, just throw them away and buy new ones. They know they're not going to make money on the other parts.

- eliaspro 3y agoExactly this. I've been repairing my own bikes for as long as I can think, but I wouldn't touch a bike's battery with an (insulated) 3m pole.
