Product Warning: do *not* buy #ebikes with #bosch motors/controllers. they are locked-down by some #evil #proprietary shit and try to #vendorlockin you into their shitty products. the motors are good, but the apps, the navigation, are horrible, and #interoperability with devices and apps of other vendors is actively hindered.

learn from my mistake, don't repeat it.

pls discuss products/vendors that are open and interoperable in comments below.
