There are many NEW e-bikes on sale today that are 2, 3 or even 4 years old.
The battery that is made of say 18650 cell (most often) has been sitting in that bike since new ??
Does anyone know how things work and what to expect as for the condition of battery, when buying say 3 year old NEW model from dealer.
If the bike was boxed long time ago and sat somewhere in warehouse for 2 years, and if no-one was charging the batteries;
Li-Ion batteries should be stored at 40-60% of charge and voltage should not drop below 2.5V.
Are people getting degraded batteries when they buying several years old e-bikes?
