Imagine cruising through the streets without ever having to worry about charging your ride. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, thanks to some ingenious minds
Bicycle riding is very efficient and effortless at 10-15 mph, if it wasn’t for those pesky stops. This is a great solution - even if it only gives back 75% of the braking energy. For urban utility, a bike really only needs to boost up to 10 mph and then I can take over.
I think the real killer for biking is anytime I hit a steep hill. Doesn’t matter if I’m slow or fast, I lose so much energy climbing hills. And the wattage for climbing even at slow speeds can be high enough that smaller motors struggle.

The only hills around me are bridges over rivers or highways. But for those kinds of hills a super capacitor bike may still perform well.
