Kind of makes me laugh. I would just buy another seat post and never mention it to them. The world is very different now. Everything has to be managed.

Look at the battery. Look at where it is placed.
The battery is very front-end and down low, where most of the impact will happen while riding any bike. Also, the back carriage is too low for the back tire.
Poor design, and for why? I am surprised it got past any engineer or manufacturer. WOW!
