The electric bicycle comes of age with super pedal power. You can change any bicycle into a smart electric hybrid by simply installing the Copenhagen Wheel. Your ride becomes a wireless e-bike that “learns” your bicycle pumping motion and increases the pedal power 3 to 10-times. You continue with a near normal, yet assisted bike ride. Regenerative braking captures power for the lithium battery when you stop or go downhill. Sensing and control algorithms happen automatically through the pedals, as the rider increases effort, the wheel pushes with increased power. It’s all self-contained, so it’s a simple matter of changing out one wheel.
Steep hills flatten out and speeds of up to about 20 miles per hour are reported. It solves the problem for commuters that would otherwise work up a sweat on the way to the job. Nobody wants that.
