hi all!
Bike is listed as very rarely used with price set at 2/3 of new one, odometer shows less than 100 km in a bit more than 2 years. Owner has receipt. So, the question is, how easy is for the owner to reset odometer? I've found reddit post where is says the certified shop can do that, or if you change display you start at 0 again. If this is the case, is there a pointer how to detect that display is not original? Some code somewhere? I am not worried so much about real state of km, as more to if someone is trying to get some benefit of not presenting real data. That would be a red flag in general.
Also, I feel like battery state/status should worry me more. If the bike has really not been used and battery left at 100% or close to 0%; for long time this is not god. How could I test this? The only thing I can come up is asking owner to try a bike on an 20-30 km ride.
If there is better idea on both topics, please share.
