NihaoMike: dont give up yet! The most efficient mode is gliding. An aero shell on the front(which the rider can tuck into) would yeild a considerable efficiency gain.
I heard here that someone went 82mph on a human only powered bicycle with aero's. Add electric and you've got a world beater.
My idea for lightweight cvt is 2 tapering urethane rollers on separate shafts that move together and apart, one driving the other, the second roller shaft speed changing as the mating surface move across the different circumferences of the taper...
The electric cycle IS the future. I see your in Texas. Big oil so close to home! Sweet! Perfect!
