The BER has a battery powerful enough for a 70 mile ride, but you can’t tell from the outside

    Sleek designs are neat and all but based on their description I’m left wondering: How do we replace the battery when it goes? They don’t specifically say it’s user replaceable.

      Yeah, generally the answer is you can’t. My wife had a Faraday while they were around, and while it was a super cool design, replacing the battery was a hassle and a half even for our local bike shop (who spent 2 months asking Faraday for schematics and maintenance instructions, incidentally 🙃 ).
