I actually thought it was quite a nice approach to the electric bike...
If we all agree that there is [url= http://www.ctc.org.uk/campaign/safety-in-numbers ]safety in numbers[/url] then the more people who cycle the better. if this helps someone make a journey they wouldn't by bike (because of distance, steepness, arriving at work sweaty and tired etc) then surely its a good thing.
One less car? If so I'm all in favour of it.
oh i quite liked the idea.
self contained, assists only when pedals turn, wireless, re-gen braking, and its as simple as wheel change to turn your assisted commuter into you weekend hardtail.
i dont have need for and electric bike (you cant commute with a cement mixer) but if i did i would be looking in this direction
would be interesting to try one out and see just how much of an assist it provides.
I think it's a fantastic idea. My commute is up a big hill then down the other side; if I could pedal consistently for the duration instead of exploding from exertion uphill and freewheeling downhill it would be the best thing ever.
A common reason (/excuse) why people don't cycle is that Britain is often a hilly place; anything that smooths out the effort required is surely a good thing.
double post
weight = 5.9kg

also does not fit 27.5" (apparently no need as they pedal themselves)

Reinvented wheel?
Electric motor wheels aren't a new thing, I had a blast on one years ago, was good fun but not as good as a proper electric bike.
It has an SDK - woo!
