Though I want to get a used electric superbike in 3 or 4 years

I'm riding a Masi Gran Corsa with a 105 set at the moment (Ultegra rear derailleur, which is so nice...). Thankfully no issues with the carbon forks, so that's a relief. Everything seems to be in pretty good condition other than those issues. Had to rebuild the front wheel after a hit and run, but it's solid as a rock even with the potholes out here, which is nice.

I got the bike used, so the drivetrain was bound to start wearing at some point. At this point the chain is married to the front rings and the cassette, so when it needs to be replaced, it all has to go.

Any advice for care and maintenance or bike repair tips/resources would be greatly appreciated

Oh, one thing: I spent 6 hours working on it on Monday. Turns out whoever installed the crank linkage bolt (I think that's the name of the part) put it in without lube. I had to blast it 3 times with a releaser and it still barely came out. It was gross with metal shavings and crap inside, but it's all cleaned out now. It was stuck so bad though that we had to hammer the part off the wrench we used to unstick it
