Local license + battery safety

e-bike work needs tight scope

The e-bike tailwind is real, but it does not make this an easy route. Tune-ups and mobile calls can pay, then parts delays, drive time, warranty limits, and battery boundaries can thin the week. Scaling depends less on a second van than on finding a mechanic who can diagnose safely without creating rework.

Before you lean on it

Keep the repair menu inside your skill and insurance. E-bike batteries, chargers, firmware, and manufacturer limits can turn a simple mobile service into a liability problem fast.
