Countless companies and industries enjoy making up scary stories when it comes to justifying their opposition to making it easier to repair your own tech. Apple claims that empowering consumers and bolstering independent repair shops will turn states into “hacker meccas.” The car industry insists that making it easier and cheaper to repair modern cars will be a boon to sexual predators.

Someone else pointed out how if your looking for a pedal bike type setup, you can buy conversion kits for $200-400 on Amazon or Ali if you have an extra bike laying around. Kits have all sorts of different setups, you can convert to assist, or even full electric.

I might do that, I would use my bike more if I didn't have to exert so much energy to get anywhere worth going. Will also be a much easier sell to my wife🤣

I hadn’t considered something like this until after I already had my ebike. My “acoustic” bike hangs forlornly in my garage now.
