Ah, yes! Another highly complex ebike designed to carry massive loads, but we’ll give you a 1-year warranty. /s
When will ebike companies stop treating their products like toys and start acting like they are selling vehicles?
5–10 year warranties should be the minimum for an ebike. And the frames should always be a lifetime warranty.
It’s a usd1.5k bicycle though, the warranty reflect the price.
This is the Urban Arrow Cargo Bike warranty and it’s a usd7k. Here’s the Riese & Muller ebike warranty, it’s a usd10k cargo bike and the warranty reflect it.
You can’t really expect a cheaply build cargo bike that’s also sold cheaply to give you a 5 years warranty. The same thing happened to car as well.
I actually believe that nearly all e-bikes have crappy warranties. The “best” that I’ve seen is Tern, and they give you 10 years.
But I go back to my original point: If these companies are serious about selling vehicles, they really need to have more confidence and offer more generous warranties.
If they are treating these bikes as disposable, then cheap or not, they are going to be viewed as toys.
Sure, the electronics and battery can be 2 -5 years, because they aren’t expected to last a lifetime, but 1 year on a frame is a joke.
I wouldn’t haul 400lbs on a frame that the manufacturer isn’t even confident about.
