Just like cars, tractors, computers, and seemingly every other product category, bikes—and especially e-bikes—are going all black box on us.

Ifixit take on current bike/e-bike manufacturers.

    I bought a new cassette, chain and derailleur for my main bike; it’s probably 20-30 years old in it’s frame and has some signs of wear, but those parts are probably the most I’ve “invested” in keeping it running well. Compare to a car with new belts, filters, etc. It’s crazy our cities are not designed more densely.

      My city used to have a tram system until they ripped it out in the 1950s. We’ve been going backwards in time here in north america.
