So my ebike battery died. I discovered this about 3 minutes after starting my bike trip. Guess I got my exercise riding a dead ebike but also a replacement battery costs more than a decent non-e-bike, which is truly insane. 18650's don't cost THIS much, and your BMS needs to account for "a bike". Not a car, just a bike. How the f can you justify "this battery costs $1000"?
