    1. Battery indicator not working after completely running out and charging again.
    2. I put 200+ miles on the Backfire Rover M8 ($800, dual-motor, 37 MPH). Here’s what surprised me (and what the spec sheet doesn’t tell you)
    3. Is this too good to be true?

    2. My Butt Hurts!!
    3. Just bought an e-bike last week and the shop said it "would take them some to organise the receipt" it's been a week now and still saying they can't send me the receipt yet. This is all after weeks of delays and excuses from the shop, I finally got the bike, but now they can't give me a receipt? WTF
