And some people have and are. Just greedy

It's all just opinions. Like arseholes, everyone's got one

All hypothetical, and not relevant to me, both my bbs01b motors are both ultra reliable and customisable, and once I purchase a uart controller as a spare then that'll serve me well if they fail. And if the spare eventually fails, and I get fed up with DIY or tinkering I'll probably just go to...

The beauty of a mid drive is that the controller is contained within the motor, why would anyone feel the need to faff about and try and cobble together with an external controller, especially if you don't need too? When there's suitable replacement controllers available at 50-60 quid in the...

Hub motors are great Mid-drives are great E-bikes are great The END.

Not wrong to want and need 2 ebikes - you have come up with good reasons for needed both, so sleep easy at night. I've got 5 ebikes, I've come up with reasons for justification for each one. One for haircuts and going into town (Argos cheapie), one for annual car service (cheap halfords...
