The solution

Needs to be addressed

1. To get around in a vehicle that is practical, ergonomic, environmentally friendly, quiet and non-polluting, multi-purpose and comfortable to drive in good or bad weather.

According to a USA study published in 2009 , few people find the bicycle unuseful for distances greater than 5 km (3 miles), this would represent 85% of all cycling trips. The average car journey reaches 15.5 km in the USA. The average commute to work is 19.5 km.

Cycling facts

• Cruising speed from 10 to 25 km/h = could translate in too much travel time.
• Wet cyclist (by sweat and / or rain) or frozen in cold weather.
• Possible impact on the body: wrists, back, shoulders, neck, buttocks.

Currently, an electrical assisted bicycle solves some, but not all of these problems. The electric motor can be used to reach the destination faster, or with less effort, however the cyclist remains exposed to the weather. Longer travel would be uncomfortable.
