THE COPENHAGEN WHEEL

[Rat Rod]

Pretty neat stuff...looks like it will go for about $700. Would be interesting to know how long the battery life is and replacement cost.

They have the specs listed on their web page. Believe it said 31 miles on battery charge. Looks to be primarily a commuter bike aide, single speed, no gears.

impressive!

What I like about it is no external battery, no wires, no control screen...just the wheel.

I remember this being demonstrated in Denmark several years ago. I like the way that you can mount a smartphone on your handlebars and control it via Bluetooth.I think that this may be the 3rd incarnation for it.That being licensing this marketing investment venture.

The FlyKly is a very similar product, and I've already ordered mine, with production to begin spring of next year.

In looking at their web site again, it appears that they have a single speed model and a 9 or 10 gear cassette model, 26" or 700c wheels. You might check their FAQ list for more info. I've been thinking about doing an electric bike conversion, this looks like a simple solution.

Will it work without the SmartPhone link in?
I can see a future for stuff like this, especially if new battery technology can be retrofitted as it developes.

So, who is going to be the first to build a Copenhagen Beast???

 

[clamdigger]

I think that it will have to have a Coca Cola theme to blend in.

That would be cool to paint them like big Coke signs.

The FAQ page said it would work without the smart phone app but you would give up the adjustability.

The other brand listed previously offers a color selection option.

Would be a cool addition to one off the Huffy CocaCola bikes. Tried to buy one several times but they always go out of my price range.

I'm gonna wait until they come out with the cheaper Skoal Bandit Wheel.

A front one would sure go nice with the rear, and the speed limiter shut off.

I see the first 1000 in pre-order offer are sold out. Price thus went up $100 with summer delivery. So who ordered one?

 

[clamdigger]

This has not been released for sale yet. Pre-order price is now $949.00
