We must remember that some authorities are 50 or 60 miles long and pupils will not cycle that far, even in these days of pedal power.
An example of this principle is a bicycle fitted with a front hub motor, which assists the cyclist's pedal power at the rear wheel.
Pedal power reached the single rear wheel via a chain and an 8-speed cycle-style gear system.
The stored energy was used to supplement pedal power from the pilot during record attempts.
This, in turn, required gearingeffected in a variety of waysto efficiently use pedal power.
Up to 20 percent additional power for the 60 second runtime is achieved using this more complex method rather than pedal power alone.
At the time, electricity supplies in the town were unreliable, and the brothers sometimes had to use pedal power from a stationary bicycle to run their equipment.
We need to consider pedestrians and the two-wheelers, both pedal powered and motorised.
