That Ribble SLE sure is a fancy e bike. With that carbon frame I can see why the owner would want it repaired. I once had an old BMW that I replaced its pistons with Mahle made pistons. Not sure if its the same company. Great video as always!
I’m just waiting for a replacement battery for my 3 year old Orbea Gain from my LBS, they are charging me £690 for the battery and about £100 for refitting, how long was delivery for the battery?
When purchasing a bike, along with specs should be repair options, "DIY, Authorised Repairer or Factory only" so at least you know what you are getting into. I hate this proprietary shit with a passion. Give me a generic bike using generic parts any time.

Same company, different department I believe. Thanks :)
This is why i prefere my diy builds. If something breaks its a ten minute job to swap it and a million times cheaper. Good vid tho dude
I agree totally! This looks pretty but it's an expensive fix
lets just not buy this bike , pulling fast ones on clients , very informative content thanks for sharing
My pleasure:)

Sounds like they're barely making a profit! When they're in stock they're usually delivered pretty quickly.

This is also super expensive! £650 for the battery pack
That thing is nightmare to maintain. I wonder how many people will just throw it away after 2 years of riding because noone will want to repair it.
Agreed!
