I'm not saying that's what he did, but they have very clever (and expensive!) electromagnetic wheel motors that can provide ~50W of power for extended periods that likely wouldn't impact the pedals.

- guyzero 11y agoThese "motors" aren't expensive, they're completely theoretical. There's no proof anyone has built a frame-rim reluctance motor anywhere ever. The linked article literally says "So, is an electromagnetic wheel possible? Yes, in theory" and has no concrete examples of one ever having been built.
