I fixed the biggest problem with electric bikes

@mattgrayyes That is MUCH fancier than the Mennekes to Schuko adapter I had for my Renault Twizy! 😄

Also, now we need e-bikes capable of "fast charging". Not 400/800V DC fast charging (though that would be hilarious), but capable of pulling like 1kWh from the power line to top up the battery much faster.

Of course then you'd also need to be able to cool down the battery, and something tells me air or water-cooled batteries on an e-bike might be *a tad* of scope creep... 😛
