For real, I think I’ve gone through the “It sucks that never came out” -> “They’re still working on that?!” -> “It sucks that never came out” cycle like three times. The first blog post is in 2018 and it states then that it’s been in dev for several years. It’s never going to see the light of day, or if it does, it’s going to be a conceptually outdated, buggy mess that’s barely duct taped together. It’s just so incredibly hard to dev for that long across multiple engines without it turning into a disaster.
I’d love to be proven wrong, though…
I don’t think you understand what rural means. There were people who had to travel 1 hr+ by car to get to the local grocery store where I came from. An ebike isn’t appropriate for places where you may need to travel 60+ miles, and/or in snow or bad conditions that might persist for weeks, and/or in ungodly hot / humid conditions that also persist for weeks. All three of those are true for decent swaths of the year in my area.
