Just like cars, tractors, computers, and seemingly every other product category, bikes—and especially e-bikes—are going all black box on us.

    I had a top end Specialized xc bike that’s basically useless now because it has a proprietary rear shock, like all of their bikes of that line for the past 10 years. I couldn’t even buy a replacement from them since they aren’t compatible between different years and they stopped making the old versions.
