I agree with you, the damage has been done. That's why I'm looking at alternative methods of transportation, like an ebike or public transit. Hopefully your area has good infrastructure for that.

I'm planning to get an ebike to commute. It took me awhile but I finally found a nice bike that doesn't have an app.

The Ride1Up Prodigy V2 step-through CVT. It's got tons of great tech at great price. USA based company too if that matters to you.

It did not occur to me that they’d do this with ebikes but now I’m concerned. Would be nice to know what you found for the day when I decide to get one.

I found the company Ride1Up. They only sell direct online but that keeps their prices down. I like the Prodigy V2 step through for the ease of use and it has a CVT transmission that let's you down shift while stopped and has nearly no maintenance. I don't know where your from but it's a USA based company which I appreciate

Definitely not within reach physically, but good to see what’s available out there. Thanks for replying!
