On flat land, weight itself has no impact on power needed to maintain speed. The top speed can be increased with aerodynamic modifications. Since it's a hybrid, acceleration is not much of an issue. The eCVT can even be programmed to measure pedal power and add a given amount of electric boost to make it feel very light. The possibilities are endless with a software-defined hybrid transmission.
Such a bike can be put on a stand to generate electricity and the measured power output sent to a computer. It would also work as an interesting controller for a racing game. When riding the bike normally, data can be recorded in real time to a SD card.
