eBike Motor Reliability
« on: February 22, 2026, 11:09:32 PM »
Hey All!

A valued member contacted me to suggest the following video "article" by Alee Denham on the reliability of eBike motors might be of interest to those considering either a conversion of their existing bikes or the purchase of a new eBike. After viewing the video -- and finding myself surprised at some of the reported data -- I thought I'd pass it on...

Interesting.... I always read the comments which provide a wider range of opinions. People understandably make a lot more noise about failures than about systems which are trouble-free (it's the same with cars).

Agreed, John; I do the same with comments...and have found the same about "noise".

Additionally, on product reviews I go straight to the 1-star "I hated it" ratings to get a preview of what things may go wrong. It is also astonishing to find a segment of the reviewing population leave a 1-star rating to mean they had an excellent experience! :o Also, when people are provided free samples to review, the ratings tend to be inflated as well.
