Classic fact from my old college E&M (electricity and magnetism) course: "A series wound electric motor has infinite torque at stall" Okay, the electric connection between the pedals and the drive wheel should act as essentially as a perfect transmission, that is, with infinitely many gears (except for the 5% or whatever is lost in efficiency). And if the wheel motor is "series wound", then should have the "infinite torque" when starting from a dead stop. That infinite torque could be nice to have when going up a steep hill -- e.g., for the last 10 speed bike I had, the lowest gear was still not low enough to let me pedal up my steep driveway and, instead, I had to walk my bicycle up that hill. Also, for that bike, the highest gear was not high enough -- on the course I was using, there was a long hill, and in the highest gear before I got to the top I was pedaling as fast as I could and wanted a still higher gear. Sooooo, for something better, if the constant torque generator had a resistance adjustment, then just increase the resistance a little, let me pedal at the same RPM as before, and get up the hill faster; that is, I would be pedaling with my maximum power and the infinite gearing would move the bike at the maximum speed for that power, e.g., the power needed for the friction and air resistance for that maximum speed. Constant torque at the generator side and infinitely many gears connecting to the drive wheel -- NICE!
