    This. I am really, really tired of custom battery shapes in the ebike market. They are one of the most important parts of the bike and if they can’t be properly serviced then it’s just an acoustic bike with extra weight.

      100% this. The “ugly” external battery packs were nearly universally compatible with all e-bikes. And that’s how they should be!

      Why the hell would I want my bike to become a victim of planned obsolescence when they are traditionally meant to last a lifetime?
