Electric Bicycles a call to lebanese inventors

I have seen this new bike called the optibike (http://www.optibike.com/). It is a mixed electrical mechanical bicycle. It can combine electric power with pedal power to go very fast. I am thinking that this is the kind of bike that we need in Beirut if bicycle transportation is to become viable. With all the slopes that we have in the country this will make it easier to go up the roads, for example the sessine slope.

One thing that I think the optibike is missing is regenerative braking. I think a bike with such a braking system will utilize the liIon battery to its maximum.

So this is a call to lebanese inventors to come up with a bike that is like the optibike but with the addition of regenerative braking. Once invented we will lobby Parliament for bike lanes all over beirut.
