I don't think most delivery guy ebikes have an app... They're a battery-powered motor with a throttle, that's about it. There are low-cost mechanics who specifically service the delivery guys, a lot of the motorized parts are custom rebuilds by those dudes.

    Like a Bafang? Because those controllers are completely customizable with open source tools. That's how I built my ebike, and it can set custom assist limits.
