I am curious just how efficient cycling is. Clearly its far more efficient than a car even an EV but HOW efficient? IE could the average not in the greatest shape person pedal to 45mph say if they had an aeroshell? I can sustain 25mph on my mountain bike for a few minutes before wearing out a bit but I also reach the limit of my gearing IE I can not pedal any faster but I know I have more go juice left.
I know a trained athlete can do it but what about average joe who puts some effort into it. I am thinking a small EV motor to boost up hills but I could not carry enough power for sustained EV usage so it would have to be for hills only.
Going to work would not work but it might be neat for getting around locally!!
