Introduction
Bicycles are a very cheap, healthy and a simple form of transport available to everyone.
Unfortunately bicycles are best suited to flat terrain, which is why they are so popular in
holland and the like where there isn’t a hill in sight. However for most of us who live in
undulating or worse hilly terrain or countryside cycling soon becomes far more trouble than
it’s worth. Peddling up long shallow gradients let alone a hill can drain you of energy and
leave you demoralized, panting for breath, and with quivering thighs that no longer seem
capable of turning the pedals. Most of the time it is easier to get off and walk, pushing the
thing. But it doesn’t need to be this difficult. For now it appears there is a simple solution to
cycling’s biggest flaw – use electricity to turn the pedals.
