The sad reality is that this will be more common over time as more ebikes come onto the market. The companies making them don't even need to go out of business.

The sad reality is that this will be more common over time as more ebikes come onto the market. The companies making them don't even need to go out of business. For example, Super73 released what they called their 'torque update' which added a small torque boost, but also removed features. They didn't tell anyone about the downsides of updating. People installed the update without knowing about the removal and were understandably upset. I went ahead and released an app that mitigated some issues [0]. It can't fix everything, but makes using the bike much easier through automation. The problem is, Apple has rejected the app from their store until I get Super73's approval, which will never happen. Anyway, I'm now looking into jail breaking the bikes, so we can install a custom firmware. (Reach out if you're interested in details!)
