I haven't heard of anyone crashing due to hardware failure on any EUCs in the past year, so they've gotten pretty reliable.
Personally after a couple thousand miles I've never had a crash that wasn't caused by me running into something stupidly, and I've never had an injury. Just wear kneepads/helmet/wristguards and you'll be fine.
I'm sorry to hear that! So the front locked up and you had a highside crash? That's my greatest fear on my ebike (heybike ranger s) and my motorcycle (suzuki gs500). I hope you heal up and can get back to riding soon, and I'm glad you're still alive and coherent
That's a great looking bike man
