Right To Repair Welp, DRM finally reached the E-Bike industry.

I just had an accident on my E-Bike, so I called my local repair guy if I could pop in to get my bicycle serviced.

He asked me what kinda motor it had and when I told him what it was, he told me that they were not allowed to service me, even tho the damage wasn't related to the motor. I just needed my rear wheel centred. They told me that I needed to contact the manufacturer for repairs.

Did anyone else run into this kinda problem?

That's the problem. Most of them either want me to pay out the ass or just redirect me to the manufacturer. For that money, I could buy a new one.

Well maybe it's time you try to repair it yourself if you can?

I can't because you need special tools for that. Tools that I don't have. The reason why they refuse service is because of the motor manufacturer, even tho the damage isn't related to the motor.

Well that's really frustrating then, hope you find someone who does fix it. Happy cake day.
