It&#8217;s not yet clear how these routes would be chosen exactly but we expect that the routes will be similar to those optimized for regular bikes &#8211; albeit with a few more inclines and a preference for following roads than more rugged cycle paths.The feature&#8217;s code still needs to be finished off indicating that it&#8217;s still in the earlier testing phases and isn&#8217;t ready for launch quite yet. But the code&#8217;s existence strongly suggests Apple is getting ready for e-bikes to become increasingly popular as people ditch their cars for cheaper and more environmentally friendly options.The goal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple Maps &#8211; the iPhone manufacturer&#8217;s version of Google Maps &#8211; wants to get you out of your car and onto an electric bike &#8211; or e-bike &#8211; at least<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[134,1],"tags":[246,13,330,95,34,157],"class_list":["post-42995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cell-phones","category-news","tag-cars","tag-cell-phones","tag-electric-vehicles","tag-lego","tag-technology","tag-travel"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42995"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42995\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
