Unironically, I would enjoy a bike that I could pedal at a constant speed, charging the battery all the while. Give me a display that indicates my pedaling speed so that I can tailor my exercise and you’ve created a moving stationary bike. I hate having to stop at lights and whatnot, so a rotation-based stabilizer would be nice at speeds below 10 km/h as I pedal the equivalent of 30.

Really, it’s just unfortunate that the engineering doesn't work out for momentum->chemical energy unless you’re biking at a professional level and willing to cruise slowly or charging the battery at home. Bleh

Honestly this would make a great video idea for Tom Stanton.

I love it, and it reminds me of James May talking about using launch control at a zebra crossing
