Wait till the regen able motors for bikes get here, just pedaling will charge them up. Whooot. I guess you never pedal on the road? The Fred reference was to Fred Flintstone. Ya know, a pedal car. Use any dyno hubs on your tours? Same thing, no? I don't text and drive or text and pedal, only air guitar. Van Halen, really loud singing off key, every one gets outta my way. Really.
Re- gen E-Assist bikes
are here, I have had mine for 5 years... People buy E-Bikes to
pedal less, not more...

While having re-gens IS, worth it if you ride in hilly areas and are willing to pedal a "bit" to keep up the speed going down hills, on flatter roads, not so much, pedaling an E-Bike in re-gen mode on flat roads is not a fun outing I can assure you. JMO.
