From my perspective water is only at best a proximal cause. The big problem is that if the motor needs replacing five times during a two year waranty period that is a lemon and the manufacurer should give back the money one paid for it.

- hi-v-rocknroll 2y agoIt sounds like a Kaabo e-scooter, a Samsung refrigerator, and most consumer electronics and appliances. Designed to fail because parts = $$$.* * In fairness, Kaabo e-scooters aren't designed, they're thrown together and spaghetti wire is rammed in every crevice without a sensible circuit or terminal diagram.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoSo out of the list, Kaabo e-scooters seem to be the only ones where the obsolescence is incidental, instead of planned :).
- hi-v-rocknroll 2y agoNawh, Kaabo's are just shit but are also all about selling parts. Unfortunately, very few e-bike repair shops will work on them because they're awful. It's worth noting that 3 of the Kaabo dealers in the US are fly-by-night, shady operations unconcerned with customer service and honesty.
