Turn your bike electric just by changing the wheel

FlyKly Smart Wheel “looks like any other rear wheel, except that
it has a monster-sized hub stuffed full of electronics,” Gizmodo
says. It’s like the Prius of bike wheels — it stores energy as
you pedal and while you’re going downhill. And then it uses that
energy to speed you along, if you want, at up to 20 mph for 30
miles. It also can track your routes, speeds, and times, and
suggest better routes. ;D
It goes onto your bike like any other wheel. And it comes in
different colors, if that helps. ::)
I was sold as soon as I watched this promotional video

– which begins with a biker huffing up
one of those steep bridge overpasses — because I am a wimp and,
oh man, does biking up New York city bridges suck.

[quote]Using a battery pack with ten 10 Ampere 3.6 Volt 44.5
gram batteries the bike can travel at around twelve miles per
hour for forty five minutes. The estimated range is 15.6 miles
of travel. During the design phase the team developed their own
brushless motors to meet the tight constraints for both power
and weight.
Based on the current bill of materials the Kickstarter page says
that around forty percent of the parts can be customized. This
will go a long way to draw different users to the bike once the
design is out of its Kickstarter phase and released to the
general public. Ideas are also being solicited for further
customizations beyond just color and shape options.
Reading about the design considerations made for this bike
between the Kickstarter campaign and the company’s website give
great insight to the design process. Carbon fiber and a few
pieces of steel make up the majority of the frame. The structure
uses circular elements wherever possible to absorb loading and
avoid one long beam component.
Total weight for the bike is currently spec’ed at 180 pounds.
This makes me wish I was back at high school weight but also
makes me question the factor of safety built into the design.
Other parts of the design are still fluid, with an update on
November 30 showing that some components planned to be built
from aluminum will now be made from a magnesium alloy.
Impossible bike ;D is definitely a leap forward in foldable
bike technology based on current product and the small size that
the bike assumes when folded. Most of the campaign video shows
the folding and riders using the bike in different settings.
Backer reward bikes are scheduled to ship in August 2015 and I’m
completely excited to see whether or not this project can
fulfill its ambitious goals.
