You set them up with a ratio to boogie at 20mph and use the torque of the motor to get started. Gears on utility ebikes are frivolous. But if you're gonna have electronics anyway. Eh. Now if they make a nut toaster saddle accessory, I'm in. Especially if it's scented with cinnamon and butter. |

While the current technology has the various shifting, braking, steering, and force functions under the control of the rider, future systems will likely be controlled by a computer, where the rider is mostly a passenger, as in a driverless car. Just press the "Go" button and the bicycle goes forward. Since control is wireless, it's conceivable that control of the bicycle in a road or track race will be under control of a remote operator so that the rider can concentrate on pedaling. His riding position would likely be more aerodynamic because he doesn't need to look where he's going. Of course, the bicycle system will include all the necessary sensors and telemetry to maximize performance and insure safety. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

No reason not to, after all the Japanese pioneered a heated toilet seat... a real blessing in cold climates :-) -- Cheers, John B. |

Singapore experimented with totally automatic buses. I don't know how the tests worked out but the aim was to produce an operatorless vehicle that knew it's route and could identify passengers waiting at bus stops. -- Cheers, John B. |
