Yesterday my wife and I drove two hours to go to an ebike shop where she bought a bike a few years ago. The bike has been good, for the most part, but the battery and electronic issues have been a headache.

1. The battery went kaput about 2 years ago. We take it back, it was still under warranty so they replaced it. Okay.

2. Happens a second time. It was a circuitry issue that "happens sometimes, rarely, but sometimes." After fussing, they replace it.

3. My wife had a total tune-up. On the first ride, and error code emerges, the bike goes dead.

Yesterday, back once again. They swear the battery is okay (I have my doubts) but $100 for them to check the codes and such. Ridiculous!

We did get a pretty late afternoon at a park on the way home, so all is good.
