Working in bikes now, want EV repair path 🚲⚡

Good starting point, since bikes already put you close. Learn battery safety, controller diagnostics, and motor wiring. Get a multimeter, read service manuals, then target e-bike dealers, rental fleets, or warranty repair shops. Basics first - shortcuts get people hurt.

bike shop first, then 20 hours on e-bike systems - batteries, BMS, controllers, torque sensors. Buy a multimeter and one dead battery pack. Fix 3 real failures, then pitch local shops and mobile repair vans

Bike shop experience already gives you the base. Add 30-50 hours on lithium packs, BMS faults, and motor controllers. Get a multimeter, learn CAN tools, then target dealer service desks or mobile repair gigs where demand's still climbing.

bike shop work is close enough. Learn battery packs, BMS, hub motors, controllers, diagnostics. Get comfy with multimeter use and firmware tools. Take EV or e-bike certification if available. Then apply to shops, manufacturers, or mobile repair gigs. No magic path.
