Unlike a car, you won't find many or any company that will resolve issues specific to your e-bike and don't count on your LBS to stock parts or repair electronics.
So... What can you "count on"... No mater what you buy, it will go out of style, out of warranty, out of parts eventually, it will fail eventually, or someone buys BionX and everything is copasetic again… It's how thing usually work.
