Battery Failed after 40 hours of use.... Customer Support offered $599 Battery Replacement
I purchased a ZUGO e-bike for around $1,200 and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. After fewer than 40 hours of riding, the battery became defective. For a bike at this price point, I expected much better durability, especially for such a critical component.
Customer service told me I would need to pay $599 for a replacement battery. Being asked to spend nearly half the original purchase price to fix a battery that failed so quickly feels unreasonable and raises concerns about long-term ownership costs.
Assembly was also more challenging than expected, with unclear instructions and more effort required than what I would consider standard for a direct-to-consumer product.
Overall, I expected better quality control and stronger support for a product in this price range.
