(not so much tyre wear, but electric motor / battery pack maintenance that might be found on such a machine).
It's not in the manufacturers interest to wave goodbye to you upon selling the bike. They hope you'll be returning frequently with your wallet in your hand (certainly to retain warranty, parts, etc).
Also some electric cars, you don't actually 'own' the battery pack, but are 'leasing' it. An additional regular payment.
Good points. Electric motors generally dont like heat, or dust, being covered with crud cos it affects their heat dispersion, or water. The one in the photo appear to also have a gear reduction unit attached? There's normally not a lot to service on them, brushes and comm perhaps, though I suspect they are brushless, bearings. Can you get them re-wound (potential mod). Bet they make them inaccessible. As for batteries, they're gonna have to indicate the life span before selling many
