No Power Repair in Salt Lake City, UT
You press the power button and nothing happens: no display, no lights, no assist.
Salt Lake City riders deal with winter road salt, and one documented cause of this symptom is loose or corroded battery/display connector. It is worth ruling out first here, though it is one cause among several and not a diagnosis on its own.
Salt Lake City's famously wide grid streets leave room for a growing bike lane network, and the Jordan River Parkway Trail runs the length of the valley for car-free commuting. The city tilts: riding west to east means a steady climb toward the Avenues, Yalecrest, and the east bench, which is exactly why e-bikes have taken off here. At 4,300 feet with hot, bone-dry summers, batteries take a beating from heat, and dust from the surrounding desert works into chains. Winter brings snow and inversion days, and the salt and sand spread on streets are hard on drivetrains and brake hardware. Canyon rides up Emigration add serious sustained climbing and long, pad-eating descents.

Try this before you call
Before booking: confirm the battery is charged on the charger (indicator turns green), then reseat the battery firmly and try holding the power button for 5-10 seconds. Check for a small fuse near the battery mount or on the battery itself. If the charger light never changes color, the problem is likely the battery or charger, not the bike.
