Prepare to have alot of down time. Colt,surface 604 etc are super unreliable. Bad controllers ,bad displays bad B.M.S. and bad torque sensor's.

That's how I got my foot in the door to start in bike shops. I repeaired ebikes and built ebikes. I had bikes myself that could get up to 80+km/hr. They are so unreliable those brands I was fixing 3 to 5 a day. The shop I worked eventually had to pull the plug on fixing cheap ebikes because it takes to long to trouble shoot and fix . The fixes were expensive and made no money on the labour. I actually stopped working on them in general and got rid of my evikes because unless you have a bosch or shimano bike they all suck for reliability.
Sorry to tell you this but maintenance wise pop over here and have a read because that's the majority of problems you will get.
