Mechanics Petition for Durability Standards & Repairable Budget Bikes
@endoplasmicreticulum: you're so right.
my 4.5k ebike (dont hate, haven't the time to listen):
-motor died within 6 months
-rear hub bearings exploded within 6 months
-front brake seized due to overheat
-rear brake has now seized also due to overheat
-discs warped
-drivetrain is all bargain barrel sram NX
-dropper is budget model, supplied underpressurised by manufacturer, no word from bike shop to re-pressurise on delivery
-fork arrived with no air in order to fit into box, no mention of this from bike shop, or pump supplied- luckily I had one
-charging port and lock cover both rubber parts which fit loosely and fall out
-headset bearings supplied ungreased, rusted through within months
I repeat...this is a £4.5k bike!!
Motor was replaced on warranty from bosch.
everything else was described as 'wear and tear' and as such I had to pay to fix myself
It's a joke.

Must Watch: Gee Atherton Shares What Might Have Been in 'The Knife Edge'
As an H&S manager I've seen some pretty gnarly footage of accidents (read:de4ths) in the workplace, and this was tame by comparison (all limbs still attached to bdy for instance) however it still made me cringe. Lucky Gee landed where he did, and stopped rag dolling, eventually.
Having guys standing on a blustery ridge above a steep & deep drop hoping to catch a moving biker wearing casual clothes and skate shoes, with no fall protection, seems like a breach of various laws and regs, and an oversight in the risk assessment...in any case, whoever is managing these situations needs to take greater responsibiltiy for their safety, be it defining the safety controls, or enforcing existing ones.
Living a couple of hours from Machynlleth I'm happy to lend a hand...;)
