That was exactly the goal with the Buffalo Bicycle project, and I'd say it worked pretty well. Make a bike that's mechanically simple & reliable, maintainable with common tools, and train technicians to fix and upkeep them. Basically create the Toyota Landcruiser of bikes. I kind of want one, even though it's a "bad" bike by the standards of most western audiences (heavy, slow, ugly, etc) https://buffaloride.org/buffalobicycle https://buffaloride.org/buffalobicycle https://worldbicyclerelief.org/product-development/ https://worldbicyclerelief.org/product-development/
