This applies to so very many human endeavors.

Okay, thank goodness. I can give you their number, maybe you should let them know they can work on my bikes.

I would take it a step further. Unless you are ready to do all your own repairs, buy from a company with a dealer network and a location near you.

edit: I hear you thinking "but for that same price I could buy two cheap Chinese import ebikes." Yes, and they will both be collecting dust inside a year unless you fix them yourself.

I have a "1500W" mid-drive and it lasts maybe 6 months, if I don't fuck up and shift under load. I do need to clean it more but... Next ebike is gonna be a belt drive.

New handlebars are way cheaper than a new face.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Most websites used to have way fewer ads and we blocked them anyway because of the ads with malware and them being annoying when they did show up.

So then people without ad blockers are shown even more ads. So then more people start to use more and more aggressive adblockers to deal with i truaivw ads, so corpos display more ads...and so on and so on.

My point is that we have tried your suggestion. The Internet in 1998 was very different.
