• I think you are setting your horizons too close- you are a chemist are you not?

    So, work on a carbon fibre/Li-ion sandwich material from which to form the frame and wheels, said structural-battery composite to be used to power the electrical accoutrements and to be powered by the hub dynamo/regenerative braking, and to be able to direct power to the drivetrain as needed.

    Then make it look cool and sell millions.

    10% please.

    Polymer chemist specifically.
    Wasnt really a serious idea. It came from a days browsing snow biking kit, and a conversation with a mate in the UK. The kit was....

    Electrically heated gloves;
    electrically heated boot in-soles;
    electrically heated water bladder;
    Cycle computer with GPS;
    the electric alfine; and
    and a powerful lighting system.

    Maybe I should have had a massive Li-ion battery built into the BB area of the fatbike. That itself was connected to the rear hub for charging. The charging mode being selectable. So you only used it down hills. Riding on snow gives enough extra drag.
