Throttle-less Electric Bike
http://www.metaefficient.com/bicycle....html#more-976
It uses a torque sensor on the pedals to determine how much 'throttle' to apply. The harder you're pedaling, the more assist it provides.
I suppose if I were to spend 2 grand for a bicycle this would be a serious contender.
