 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I was browsing the BBC website and they have a few cool videos on up and coming cycle technology. One thing stood out, the Copenhagen Wheel
You basically replace your back wheel with the Copenhagen Wheel and your bike turns into an e-bike. It's not cheap at $950

Apologies if you've seen this before, I hadn't
This is a brilliant idea, in a few years hopefully the cost will come down too
I hate to be the one to do this but, yes we've done it before

Hope you can generate a bit more interest.
It's more about them selling something that works. We've been waiting for this to come out for what seems an age, so interest has waxed and waned over the months/years.
It looks like the perfect answer for a conversion.
Be great for a cargo bike.
I've been doing hub motor conversions for 15+ years. Occasionally a new company comes along with some amazing new product, gets lots of coverage, but the product never actually makes it to the shop floor for technical or production reasons.
Copenhagen Wheel feels a lot like that. It's been almost ready for several years now.
Sorry, don't remember seeing anything on it, in fairness I didn't search for it! 😆
It's a great looking product, I really hope it comes to market and more people do something like it. It would certainly get my missus riding with me more!
