Your ebike is also spying, probably.

You're also not required to get liability insurance on an ebike (for now)

I doubt it, where I live I barely get a cell signal

I don’t know man, sometimes I can barely hold a YouTube stream on my phone but the ads find a away to come through. lol car and insurance companies would probably go straight to satellite or something if they can resell the info for a dollar over cost.

Yeah 4k ads and 96p video, the reason why it's so slow
