Electric assist bikes. I don't have one yet but I've rented them in SF before. They make biking in a hilly city a far more enjoyable experience. If the cost falls enough to be on part with a normal bike in a few years, I suspect everyone will start riding them and cars will be less prevalent for short trips.

I rented one once and I suspect the electric was just compensating for the bike weight (unliftable so I’m guessing 40kg or more!) so I can’t imagine hoe good they are on a lighter bike.
