IMO a pedal assisted electric bike or an electric assisted pedal bike will be the innovation (when perfected) that catapults the bicycle into the realm of practical transportation alternative. Not every commuter (regardless of age) can manage a 20mi commute, put in a full day at work, do the 20mi return and repeat. 5x for the week. Unfortunately, despite decades of development, electric motor systems are still at the 'early adopter' phase or more accurately there has been a some further progress beyond what was available 10 years ago but it remains priced at early adopter levels.
