The ancients managed to design around replaceable batteries, I don't think these techniques have been entirely lost to time.
The ancients also designed ways to carry humans without gas or electricity, but I don't really want to regress to those techniques.
Not a biker, eh?
Hah fair- I wouldn't give up paragliding either. To keep the analogies- I wouldn't want a bike without inflatable tires, nor a paraglider without a reserve.
The "ancients" refers to phone makers 15 years ago when batteries were still replaceable.
They also designed with cheap shells that felt loose before a year was out, and offered exactly zero water and dust protection so if your device got wet, it was considered out of warranty.
