    Just cleaning the chain and noticed rattle, which was coming from the crank. On investigation I found chainring was loose.

    How about ebike warranties which are transferrable like car waranties?

    We need to unionise and fight against the manufacturers BS - e.g. their normalisation of non-transferrable warrnaties. I mean what other purpose/rationalale is there for it other than reducing the manufacturer's liabilty?
