Neat idea, but it's not as environmentally friendly as my legs.

It's a glamour video about the Geo Orbit motorized bicycle wheel:

For the extra money that this thing costs, I can't really see that it would work better than just using a regular hub motor and hanging a battery off both sides of the wheel.

Not saying that makes it overall better, but that is a noticeable difference.

And no, most engineers don't wish they could take something simple and over complicate it. People have done this before, maybe not the same exact way, but it didn't revolutionize bicycles then and it won't do it now.

That website has a scary "one World" apocalyptic vibe to it. Not where I would go for information. Would recommend that folks stay away...
