       Cannondale’s Quick Neo e-bikes compress the entire interface for managing the electric motor into a single button on the bike’s top tube that you interact with entirely through presses of varying durations and which provides feedback by changing color, which sounds like something that will absolutely get you fucking killed if you try to use it while dodging traffic at 15mph https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/reviews/biking/electric-commuter-bike/cannondale-quick-neo-sl-2

       Here’s more information on the system Cannondale went with, direct from the component supplier they sourced it from (MAHLE SmartBike Systems in Spain): https://mahle-smartbike.com/x35/Naturally they are proud of how “minimalist” it is, which does not disprove my belief that minimalism is a cancer that must be burned out of civilization at any cost
