As we all know, a rechargeable battery has a definite lifespan depending on how often it's recharged and the frequency of use.
Now if I buy a human powered pedal bike, I would expect, all things being equal, for it to have a 'life' of up to fifteen years or more allowing for replacing tyres, brake blocks, drivetrain components etc..
However, if I bought an electric bike, what would be the chances of there being a suitable battery pack for replacement after say, four or five years, or even two or three - ?
And electric bikes aren't exactly cheap.
Just a thought.
