From the hallowed halls of MIT Labs, first unveiled on the streets of Copenhagen (where else), comes yet another innovation: a bicycle wheel that has a motor assist, regenerative braking, GPS, air quality sensors, and wireless connectivity, all built into a single unit.
You can read more at the Wiser is the Path blog, or directly at the MIT project page.
Looks like this “smart wheel” relies on a “smart phone” for common tasks such as:
“unlock and lock your bike, change gears, select how much the motor assists you and for viewing
relevant real-time information.”
Me, I prefer control cables any day (though if you add too many, they can become unwieldy).
