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.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I was going to blame it on cheap motors from unknown manufacturers, but this is Bosch. They have the most expensive, "premium" motors around.
That's pretty bad if they can't even handle being outdoors... on bikes designed for outdoors.
From personal experience buying certain car parts, sensors and electronic components... "Bosch", "Premium" and "Quality" are words that shouldn't be in the same sentence, and haven't been for a bunch of years already...
Any gasket will need to be replaced eventually, but these seem to be failing pretty fast if it's gasket related. Seems more like a design flaw.
From the article:
"He says some of the first-generation motors had experienced problems caused by water, but later models had been enhanced with improved seals and bearings."
I wonder if these owners simply kept getting gen 1 motors, or whether Bosch is just lying. LOL
