Hehe... Gonna guess the future is small (light weight) foldable/portable/easily stored. Thinking shorter distances, and smooth pavements in crowded urban environments. (See also recumbent trikes. :) )

Emerging Vehicles for Low Speed Transportation The focus of this subcommittee is on personal mobility devices and technology and systems that support them that are not normally subject to the United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or similar regulations. These may be device-propelled, have propulsion assistance, or be propelled by the user. This committee is concerned with the policy, utilization, demographics, and operational characteristics of these devices, and how they may be safely incorporated in the transportation infrastructure.
3.1. Sponsoring Committees.
ANF10: Pedestrians

"TRB"? = Transportation Research Board:
http://www.trb.org/Main/Home.aspx

(They say:)
The Transportation Research Board (TRB) provides innovative, research-based solutions to improve transportation. Part of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, TRB is a non-profit organization that provides independent, objective, and interdisciplinary solutions. TRB manages transportation research by producing publications and online resources. It convenes experts that help to develop solutions to problems and issues facing transportation professionals. TRB also provides advice through its policy studies that tackle complex and often controversial issues of national significance. TRB is powered by volunteers, learn how to connect with TRB to find out about new research and volunteer opportunities.

(Wiki:)
Reilly, Ace of Spies is a 1983 television miniseries dramatizing the life of Sidney Reilly, a Russian Jew who became one of the greatest spies ever to work for the British. Among his exploits, in the early 20th century, were the infiltration of the German General Staff in 1917 and a near-overthrow of the Bolsheviks in 1918. His reputation with women was as legendary as his genius for espionage.

The mini series is written by Troy Kennedy Martin, and based on the 1967 book Ace of Spies by Robin Bruce Lockhart, whose father R. H. Bruce Lockhart was one of Reilly's fellow spies. Sam Neill stars as the title character.

Episode One, at about eight minutes in, some ebikers may be struck by a British navy Admiral lecturing about the "Coal Lobby" fighting against burning oil for traction in the "centuries to come":

The usual... `though ES Bible "Search found (only) 2 matches: +SitGo"... (hard to pedal)

Posters desc. on Youtube amusing maybe:
Bicycles are great, motorcycle are also great, but its when you combined the sleekness of a lightweight bike with the motorization of a motorcycle, you end up with something really special. Then you add a little electricity... and boom goes the dynamite!
