    Well, I don’t really have the money to buy much of anything these days. But any dreams of getting a new e-bike in the near future are dashed, that’s for damn sure. This broken heap with a quarter-battery charge will have to last me a few more years.

        Or save yourself the time and effort and just set fire to your house.

        Those Temu/Wish.com batteries are the whole reason we have regulations.

          I wasn’t even thinking about that, I’d build a pack with a BMS myself.

        It’s already very cheap and outdated, and honestly, I’m not very technically proficient to begin with. Already almost junked it trying to fix it once, lmao.
