Cool, I could see doing that.

Another great idea for ebikes in city traffic:

None are armored, but some good info and bike comparisons. The 1st two are the prettiest of the 5 compared here.

I'm not 100% sure that I believe this. If it works, then why not cars etc?

If real, then a crazy new wheel.

the SuperWheel uses your weight to turn your bike into a power-assisted one

What a site.

But seriously, doesn’t the article indicate that these wheels are a sort of perpetual motion or limitless energy machines?

I bet it's something that would be disappointing on some level - ride, cost or actual power assistance.

I've been considering one of those old style exercise bikes with nothing but an analog odometer and a tension knob but they're evidently pretty rare. I don't want none of this high tech shit....just me and the bike. I sometimes stumble into an exercise frenzy slash panic but really have nothing but 5kg sand weights and long for a mid century old style sweat maker. I guess I'll just get a bicycle and beat the shit out of it so it's hard to pedal and then get loaded up on drugs and give it a workout.

I bought one 2 years ago at Academy for $99 during Christmas sale

To me, this makes a lot of sense for a city commuter. May sound like a lot for a bike, but no more parking garages.

This one is pretty

If you haven't been on an ebike the pedal assist is a cool feature. The power only engages when you pedal. There are usually 5 or 6 levels of power added to your effort. So a commuter can lightly pedal 10 or 15 mph around backed up traffic as if it was a casual ride through the park.

Disc brakes - so simple, so quiet, so always aligned, so easy, so effective - what were we (not)thinking

I've only looked on Craigslist and on the Wal Mart site......nothing on Craigslist and only fancy frilly touch screen bullshit stuff at Wal Mart.

Alternative:
Drive roofing nails through your tires from the inside, snip off the points - studs!
