Ye gods an electrified bike with a 50-75 mile range, assist/etc would make this so much more accessible for people: you can tow more, get up hills, fight headwinds like a pro cyclist would. And you can recharge over lunch. You could probably go 100 miles a day with the energy of a 20-30 mile ride, and hold 20mph if you needed to regardless of conditions. And carry all the serious rain gear too. And the bikes are tougher, you can carry spares and tools... The only issue is the asshole drivers of America, especially the roll coal pickup trucks. And it is tough, because rural America is conservative and full of very angry pickup truck drivers.
