*sigh* Is it compulsory to become a fucking drama queen upon purchase of an eBike? Or is it contagious and it's spreading from the Levo owners?
You're not being fucked over. A reconditioned motor will be built to the exact same spec as a new one. In fact, my recon motor has outlasted my original motor by some considerable margin. Will it last the winter? I neither know nor care. It's under warranty.
The vast majority of them will see nothing dirtier than a cycle lane. There are motors out there at many thousands of commuting miles that have never failed.
The usage that we put our bikes through is the exception, not the norm.
Now you know your motor is only IP54 are you going to continue to knowingly expose to conditions that exceed that rating? If so, you are guilty of contributory negligence and as such outside the warranty conditions.
*Sigh* not sure why you insist on defending the indefensible with no evidence to support your arguments. It feels like you are being contrarian for the sake of it.
They are not reconditioned unless you can prove it. A large number of bikes will see muddy conditions - that's why they are called mountain bikes. I don't consider riding an emtb offroad negligent.
I consider the fact that none of the manufacturers is willing to sell spares extremely unreasonable and have highlighted it as such. You are entitled to your opinion. If they sell spares we can collectively run our bikes indefinitely - if not it could well be very expensive/ impossible. I am highlighting this to make others aware of the situation, nothing more.
