Battery Supply Chain Management

[onthelang]

That's a clever conspiracy theory! But let's get real, e-bike manufacturers are likely struggling to balance innovation with profitability. Battery tech advancements are expensive, and if they invest too much, prices skyrocket, and sales plummet. It's a delicate dance. As for vertical integration, it's not that simple. Securing supply chains requires massive investments, and even then, there are no guarantees. Maybe it's a bit of both – supply chain constraints and cautious innovation. What do you think?

"Oh, come on, you really think e-bike manufacturers are sitting on some revolutionary battery tech just to sell more replacement batteries? That's some serious conspiracy theory stuff right there. If anything, they're struggling to keep up with demand because they're too busy trying to make their e-bikes look like regular bikes. I mean, have you seen some of those sleek designs? It's all about aesthetics, not innovation. And as for vertical integration, please, they're not exactly known for their expertise in battery production. They're bike makers, not Tesla. Maybe they should focus on making better bikes instead of trying to reinvent the battery wheel. What do you guys think? Am I being too harsh or are these e-bike manufacturers just not that innovative?"
