Anyway, lets revisit serial (series, same thing) vs parallel.

Again, if you think it is smart to drive a generator to drive a motor to turn the wheels (aka series), then take the chain off your bike and replace it with a pedal driven generator and a motor connected to the wheel.

I don't care if you are at bsfc peak, you will still be like "man does this heavy a$$ bike ever suck!!" as compared to the direct chain drive.
