Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles, heelies, or an office chair: Whatever floats your goat, this is all things micromobility!
"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.
micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Ok, so, yes, but...
If we were talking about a single battery that has excellent range, then you could argue that you are sparing "charge cycles" by not having to charge all the time.
But for an e-bike (or phone, or any other battery-powered device that uses rechargeable batteries), the shorter the range (i.e. lower the capacity), the more quickly you put charge cycles on it, which reduce the overall lifespan of the device/battery.
I had an e-scooter that could get 100km. When compared to one that gets 40km, I was rarely charging the thing! It was glorious.
Also keep in mind that this particular bike, with the 3-battery configuration, is designed for "touring", so yeah, you want range, just in case. Even then, 147 miles (approx. 240km) isn't very far for a three-battery e-bike that uses a low-powered motor!
More capacity = more weight + cost
It's all a tradeoff.
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.
