Think I've mentioned it before in here, but one of the sketchiest bikes I saw was a geared Carrera Crossfire e bike with a battery on the DT and a rear motor. The jockey wheels were barely alive and the snapped gear cable was still bolted to the mech, so running as a SS. This genius added a front motor with rack mounted battery. Everything was loose, the chain was the classic black and over oiled on the outside with shiny little rollers that were so loose they rattled while walking the bike.
You really shouldn't try to repair the bike but at the same time, it's so on the edge of catastrophic failure that it's just a matter of how soon and how badly will the rider be hurt.
This was a deliveroo rider btw
