Now -- you can reduce the current, and thus increase the

AH! But if you put the transformer (and wire) in a TRAILER then the
bicycle will stay the same weight!!1 In fact, running with that logic,
if the cyclist himself were to be seated in the trailer then the
system would be even MORE efficient!!!!

Of course! But the robotic controls and the associated processing equipment
would surely outweigh the person pedaling the bike.
