Every Kind of Bike Is Going Electric
"No matter how fast you’re going, you can still help the cause by pedaling, thanks to a novel gear set called a Schlumpf drive that enables fruitful pedaling even at speed.

Other riders might think you’re silly for wearing motocross gear on a bike. Till you pass them at 50."

The idea is to crush downhills and skip the shuttle line, and offer a bit more traction than the average DH bike."
