I have an E-bike, I'd repair everything but the battery. The battery I have is expensive at about $1K. So I can see why the 'working person' may want to have a crack at repairs on their own, but it's risky. With bikes, there's a tradeoff with weight. If the batteries were repairable. I could see them getting heavier to make them more friendly with clip in joints and lots of inbuilt safety. Rather than the sealed for life style that they currently exist in. Anyway, I'm happy to send my bike to a mechanic. It;s money in the local economy. Though I did get a car service that was cheaper than my last bike service. Which was kinda wild in retrospect.
