What do you wish you had known before you bought your first e-bike/e-scooter?

[Shortie]

We have all been there. First-time buyers of an e-bike or e-scooter, and we just went for the one we liked the look of or that we thought would be best for us. It has happened to us all. It is usually not until after you have bought your e-bike or e-scooter that you realise you should have probably waited and done more research.

I wish I new about resell value before I bought my emotorbike. In our country, there is no resell value for ebike, escoter, or even emotorbike. You will have to sell it as junk if you no longer want to use it.

I wish I had paid more attention to battery replacement costs, tire quality, and real-world range. I also underestimated how road conditions can affect comfort. On paper, many models look great but their usability depends on build quality and after-sales support.
