At this point, just get a bicycle without a battery.

Of course, sometimes you need to move heavy stuff and there’s nothing you can do about it, bu I tend to save enough, not owning a car/motorbike that I can afford to pay for a pickup on those occasions.

I don’t get why they feel the need to keep it a secret.
Google takes GeoLocation data with maps and people happily use it. I even put reviews for places I go to.

If they were to just be above board about it while selling the stuff, they would have much happier customers and they could even get some legitimate use out of the data, like traffic status that Google does.

I’m not a fan of Google, but must say, they definitely managed to do better in this regard.
