Then obviously you have to order a lighter motor & generator set :-)

Then add a battery pack, and watch yourself zoom along pedaling moderately all the time, while the electric motor accelerates you from stops and speeds you up the hills, and regen replenishes the battery down the other side. What you have may not be a bike, exactly, but it'd be pretty useful transport for a lot of people.
