I’ve done just over 1,500km on a DYU A5 now in UK conditions.
Rain, cold mornings, rough roads, short commutes, the lot.
The biggest things I’ve learned are:
Range claims are always optimistic.
Cold weather makes a real difference.
Small wheels take getting used to.
Battery care matters more than people think.
Storage matters as well.
Leaving an e-bike outside long term is asking for problems.
I’m curious what everyone else has found after owning a cheaper e-bike for a while.
What’s held up well?
And what failed sooner than expected?
