3000km seems ridiculous as the lifetime for a bicycle, and to make it worse an e-bike will be e-waste. That would mean it was trash in a year for my commute alone, and this is in NYC where commutes are pretty short. That doesn’t even account for recreational riding.

That being said a puncture is just a normal bicycle problem. Does Rad offer tubeless compatible components? I’m guessing e-bikers may be less “normal bicycle maintenance” oriented than your average road/gravel/mountain bike owner and tubeless would nearly eliminate punctures.

Everything is 2x heavier and so everything needs two hands.

Changing a tube on my road bike is like flipping a pancake. Changing a tube on the RadRunner is like flipping a turkey.
