Is it really necessary to have a massive high-definition display on an ebike, or are we just sacrificing battery life and adding unnecessary complexity for the sake of a flashy screen? Ive seen some ebikes with displays that seem to have more features than a smartphone, but do we really need to be able to check our email or watch videos while riding?
Whats the trade-off between display size and resolution, and battery life? Are there any ebikes out there that have successfully balanced these competing demands, or are we stuck with a choice between a tiny low-res display or a massive power-hungry screen?
And what about the argument that a bigger display is safer, because it provides more information to the rider at a glance? Is there any evidence to support this, or is it just a marketing myth?
Are there any alternative display technologies or designs that could provide the information we need without draining the battery or distracting us from the road?
Lets discuss the pros and cons of different display types and see if we can come up with some innovative solutions that prioritize both functionality and sustainability.
