Abstract: A pedal-operable bicycle is provided with supplemental electric power means to assist the operator in traversing hilly terrain. The electric power means comprises a storage battery, a wheel-hub mounted direct current motor operated either as a motor or a generator, and handle bar actuated electronic control means for applying power to energize the motor or to connect it as a generator to recharge the battery when traveling downgrade and/or to brake the vehicle to a slower speed. An alternate arrangement using a separate motor and generator is also disclosed.
