It's amazing.

I can appreciate the _desire_ to have a linked app to deal with the electronic internals of an ebike. We have a Yuba cargo and a Rad, and it'd be cool to "open up the insides and tweak". Yet. Yet.

Honestly, I got a non-ebike very recently (I've been wanting a particular set of features for about 5 years now), and it has been very, very nice to use. No concerns about battery, speed limiting, etc. No cloud servers connecting to an app, either. I can't say I'd recommend an non-ebike to everyone, but it does simplify certain elements of the experience.
