RE: History of the Electric Bicycle: Originally Invented in 1895(!)

in #electric7 years ago

I always find it amazing when I learn what I thought was newer technology actually ends up being really old. Like bio diesel or wood gasification. It just seems bizarre that you can go almost 100 years with very little progress in an area of technology.

Sort:  

It's crazy the progress that can be stifled in the interest of making a buck.

Sometimes I think there is a bit of collusion to stifle technology. Most of the time there seems to be one technology that works better and the other alternatives are dropped and forgotten about. Unfortunately, it is hard to know how far you can take a certain technology when no work has been done on it in decades.
