This seems like a very interesting idea, but I feel that it may diminish the purpose of riding a bike which is to engage in physical activity. If another type of energy is pedaling the bike, than you are not doing very much physical activity and therefore your body is not benefiting from it.
ReplyDeleteWell, though you may lose some amount of physical work through using this E-Bike, still the enjoyment of coasting on a bike and riding around town can be realized by a wider audience like the original poster stated, like the elderly and people with physical ailments.
ReplyDeleteI too thought that this idea would take away from the very purpose of riding a bike. However, i can see it being an aid to elderly ppl or someone who wants to ride a bike but isnt physically able to. It is interesting how technology will aid in accomplishing task that the disable cant do alone.
