Pedelecs are electro driven bicycles, but these pedelecs are a little bit different from those who are existing now. The shape is like a recumbent bicycle with an additional cover to keep the passenger dry in case of rain. The cover also decrease the aerodynamic resistance so that these pedelecs can reach up to 80 km/h with combined power from the passenger and the electro drive. The cover can be covered by solar cells, which are flexible and light weighted. During sunshine the solar cells are sufficient to provide enough energy during the travel but in most cases they help to recharge the pedelec, and if it is not used for long time it even can be used to generate electric power for the network. Therefore there are special power stations for solar cell equipped pedelecs which are at sunny places and allow to put electrical power from the solar cells back in the network by voltage converters.
The biggest pedelecs can carry up to 3 people so that parents can carry their children, but even these pedelecs are at maximum 1 meter wide, so that the streets can be smaller then today and two pedelecs can passing easily on one half of a rural road as we know them today. Highways will also not have more then two lanes of the size of today for each direction, to allow the pedelecs to pass the Bio Fuel Driven Lorries.
There will no bio fuel used for individual transport of people because it is not enough space for bio fuel plants.
