Whats the point of even calling it a modern eBike if it doesnt have some form of integrated GPS navigation? Isnt one of the main selling points of these things supposed to be increased safety and convenience? How can you expect to successfully navigate complex city routes or remote trails without a built-in GPS system? Especially considering the vast majority of cyclists arent exactly carrying around paper maps and compasses anymore.
Does anyone know which eBike models actually come equipped with a decent GPS system? Im talking turn-by-turn directions, real-time traffic updates, the whole nine yards. Not just some basic app that you have to fumble around with on your phone while trying to ride. Ive seen some eBikes that claim to have GPS, but upon closer inspection, its just some glorified bike computer that barely qualifies as a GPS system.
Whats the deal with eBike manufacturers skimping out on this feature? Is it really that hard to integrate a decent GPS system into the bikes electronics? I mean, were talking about an industry thats essentially built on the idea of combining technology with cycling, and yet it seems like a lot of manufacturers are still stuck in the dark ages when it comes to navigation.
So, lets get down to business: which eBikes actually come with a real GPS system, and what sets them apart from the rest of the pack?
