Well after 3 months and as many e bikes im getting quite fed up with the whole thing.

Bought my first e mtb on the 3rd of july.
Rear hub motor by shingji and bike by a Swedish company called WHITE.

Loved it, comfy nimble and quick.
Basic L.E.D controls and cable disc brakes,
Did the job, or at least for 2 months till the motor packed in.

Took it back to the dealer, they claimed it couldnt be fixed by them and that i would have to return it.
Ok.
So explained that I had to have a bike to get to work, could i have another?

They told me that they had stopped selling that model due to its known issues(in 2 months?).
So they gave me another, more expensive bike.
Problem!
The bike was ALOT bigger than the last one, 17" vs 23"
And no suspension!
Caused me alot of back and wrist pain within 2 days of going to work.

They refused to take it back, stating thats all they could give me, dispite that i found an e mtb on their showroom floor for 100e less than the bike they gave me.
But nope, they refused.
Ontop of that, the shimano steps E6000 motor it had kept throwing error 0212 at me too.

So....
After getting no where and fast with them, i decided to trade that bike at another dealers in town for an e mtb, Kreidler vitality dice e with a Bosch performance motor.

Now after 1 day i am getting wierd vibration from the motor.
Feels like when the wheel is miss aligned and rubs the frame (wheels are both fine).

Happens when i pedal really hard with motor off or when i go beyond what tje motor can do (top speed and acceleration)

Really reluctant to take it back to the dealer as im not having much faith in solutions now.

Oh and im a foreigner in finland (British), Finns dont seem to normally stand up for their rights here

BRUCE AND THE SPIDER

THERE was once a king of Scotland whose name was Robert Bruce. He had need to be both brave and wise, for the times in which he lived were wild and rude. The King of England was at war with him, and had led a great army into Scotland to drive him out of the land.

Battle after battle had been fought. Six times had Bruce led his brave little army against his foes; and six times had his men been beaten, and driven into flight. At last his army was scattered, and he was forced to hide himself in the woods and in lonely places among the mountains.

One rainy day, Bruce lay on the ground under a rude shed, listening to the patter of the drops on the roof above him. He was tired and sick at heart, and ready to give up all hope. It seemed to him that there was no use for him to try to do anything more.

As he lay thinking, he saw a spider over his head, making ready to weave her web. He watched her as she toiled slowly and with great care. Six times she tried to throw her frail thread from one beam to another, and six times it fell short.

"Poor thing!" said Bruce: "you, too, know what it is to fail."

But the spider did not lose hope with the sixth failure. With still more care, she made ready to try for the seventh time. Bruce almost forgot his own troubles as he watched her swing herself out upon the slender line. Would she fail again? No! The thread was carried safely to the beam, and fastened there.

"I, too, will try a seventh time!" cried Bruce.

He arose and called his men together. He told them of his plans, and sent them out with messages of cheer to his disheartened people. Soon there was an army of brave Scotchmen around him. Another battle was fought, and the King of England was glad to go back into his own country.

I have heard it said, that, after that day, no one by the name of Bruce would ever hurt a spider. The lesson which the little creature had taught the king was never forgotten.
