That seems to be quite the opposite of what current owners are reporting. I am not questioning your bike mechanic's ethics or anything like that but I would question his motives and quietly do the research on your own and come to your own conclusions.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any e-bikes made by Rad Power nor have any financial interest in the company. I am however considering one of their bikes for a future purchase much later in the year.
