There are still people who don\u2019t ride bikes because Portugal is not a \u201ccyclable\u201d country. But Rui Ara\u00fajo, a Portuguese researcher from the University of Minho, decided to solve the problem: he made a prototype of a kit that can turn \u201cnormal\u201d bicycles into electric bicycles. Costing \u20ac500, this device can be fitted to all bicycles, providing a range of 60 km and a maximum speed of 25 kph. This project was Rui\u2019s Master\u2019s thesis for the course in Industrial Electronic Engineering and Computers he is attending, and although it\u2019s not ready to be sold commercially yet, a new kit is already being developed with the capacity to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy.<\/p>\n
