I recently bought an ebike and realized as I bought it that I was buying a bike that had a limited lifespan because I won't be able to replace the batteries once they stop making that model
it cost more than 4x my regular bike and that was at 45% of its list price because it was used
Batteries can be refurbished with new cells; a family member had a technician recently did this with an e-bike that was bought more than 10 years ago. In the process the cells chemistry was also changed, which means we have a new charger.
