I'm fully expecting e-bikes to get the radio code treatment, 2020 style. Central motor an integral, welded part of the frame, mutual authentication between battery, motor and headunit before a single joule of power is going into the chain. Chip on board for the integral trust components, then slathering on a few layers of coating on top. Rekey it all with the smartphone of the owner every so often.
