    For sure, but in an ebike, weight isn’t really a concern. Especially not in a touring model with THREE batteries 😮

    Cost, for sure. But we’d be talking short term vs long term cost. Since batteries are one of the most expensive components in an ebike, I’d rather be replacing a large capacity battery after 5 years, than a low capacity one after 2 or 3.

    And if you ride in cold temps, low capacity batteries will be perform much worse.
