Guess what, with this configuration, he won't have to peddle a lick
and
will
be hitting over 23 mph average with almost a 75 mile range. Add a
4th
pack
and he should hit almost 100 miles. Now, unless your name is Lance
Armstrong and you are at the peak of your carreer, the sickly person
that
can't even pick up his own bike is going to smoke you over a very,
very
long
distance.

Maybe, but Bob will be healthier after the finish line.
And better able to deal with flats 'n such en route.

And maybe he will be so exhausted at the conclusion he won't complain
loudly
about the Low Speed Electric Bike being included.

If Bob agreed with his free will to participate in
such a contest, I doubt he'd be inclined to beef
about it later.

It's usually not up to one single person on who participates. And Bob is
free to agree or disagree.

I'm just sayin' I think Bob is sportsman enough to
win or lose graciously.

And, chances are, the skinny dude on the LSEB might have gotten some
exercise along the way as well.

Pushing a "start" button is not exercise.

And pitting a bicyclist against a two-wheeled ersatz car
is hardly a contest.

Actually, if one stays within the Public Law that makes a "Low Speed
Electric Bicycle" a bicycle then there will be some pedaling involved
somewhere along the way.

So much for: " Guess what, with this configuration, he won't
have to peddle a lick."

Now, if Lockheed/Marietta were to make one it
would still require approval from the FAA and NASA to drive.

Aw, I'm just pullin' yer leg a little. And partly, I'm just
responding to that human instinct, when confronted with
a monster, to kill it :-) But I don't really have anything
against eBikes. If they keep your hypothetical delicate
flower of masculinity from driving some oil-smoke-spewing
old panel van or some such thing, I guess that's a good thing.


cheers, & King Kong died for our sins,
Tom
