Seriously, seeing these proprietary locked down garbage products die the death they rightfully deserve makes me happy. Sucks that people lost their jobs, but there are other ebike companies that don't make horribly anti-consumer garbage that they could work for. Shitty tech companies who prioritize anti-repair and lock-in strategies simply need to go away. It's bad for consumers and it's bad for the environment.
