Electric Bikes Compatible with Exoskeleton

The new HULC exoskeleton helps you carry 200 lbs for hours or days. For pure mobility, one could carry an electric bicycle. So what transportation options could mix in with the 200 lb weight limit.

The other transportation option also has to be able to carry you, your gear and the 50lb exoskeleton. Electric bike and the electric exoskeleton can share or run off the same batteries and/or ultracapacitors or small engine.

If you could:

* go 25 mph in your exoskeleton (with bionic boot attachment)

* could switch at any time to a 40-50mph electric bike that you were carrying along with crash safety armor

* could walk onto public transporation for more range

Would you look at using your car a lot less or trading in your car?
