EV batteries lack reparability leading some insurers to junk whole cars after even minor collisions
Some insurers are forced to scrap whole electric vehicles if their batteries are scratched or slightly damaged as they lack reparability and cost as much as 50% of the total vehicle.
Half my ebike is battery cost. Does that even make since?
Yes, bikes aren't expensive otherwise. The motor system would be the most expensive part?
My 1000 watt Electric bike motor is about $250, the 19 amp battery cost nearly $700

Yep, it's all Chinese made! Cept the Rider!
