Sounds like the car makers aren't the only ones dealing with consumer's "range anxiety"
It will be interesting if the bike industry takes this on as a concern or treats it the same as they have with shifting opposite directions on front and rear. "Get used to it"

With our gas cars and our cell phones we have learned to read the gauge and plan for our intended trip. 1/4 tank? 20 miles no need to fill up. 200 miles? better fill up.
On bikes, do we often head out for a 20 miler and end up doing 200? Not really. It will just take some time to adjust our thinking.

I had not heard of the discharge while not riding issue. Hopefully this is a problem with that particular unit. I can't imagine any company would expect us to deal with a LiIon battery self discharging in only a few weeks.
But the bike industry works in strange ways sometimes.

Ah yes, I remember Mavic ZAP too. Balky stuff but the sexiest crankset ever.
