Very interesting. I've been getting around SD for years on
a bicycle. Too many years, in fact - My knees are letting
me know...This prompted a gas power-assist addition 4
years ago - Works great, gets in excess of 150 mpg when
used, will pull a 7% grade at 10 mph by itself, and the
whole set-up weighs 17 lbs.

Sadly, it is still considered a bicycle under the
vehicle code - No licence, registration, insurance, fun-filled
hrs in line at DMV... Damn.

Three Wald folding baskets, two up front and one rear
opposite the motor give me 3 grocery bag capacity.
When I need a car or truck I rent one.

Electric powered bikes are fun to think about, but weight
and range seem to stack the deck against them, at least
here in hill country.

merry Christmas, Jack
