- Infinite gear range allows optimal pedaling technique, can ensure riders are always in the perfect gear, for higher human efficiency and reduced fatigue.
- Extremely advanced control system inherent to the design also allows real-time tailoring the pedaling resistance for example, detecting which leg is weaker and increasing resistance on that side of the stroke to increase training intensity for the weaker leg.
- Regenerative braking might make this work with a really small battery/capacitor bank instead of a normal sized e-bike battery.
Downsides mentioned:
- Bicycle mechanical efficiency so bad basically necessitates a battery. (But this also allows some really cool future features!)
- Control system software gets incredibly complex and doing it bad results in a terrible rider experience.
- Weight (generator at pedals, motor at wheel, battery)
