Just wanted to point out the "GeoOrbital" wheel. It's an all-in-one battery-motor-wheel that can replace the front wheel of most conventional bikes in a minute or two. Presto! New eBike.

- scarejunba 7y agoThe Copenhagen Wheel https://www.superpedestrian.com/en/copenhagenwheel https://www.superpedestrian.com/en/copenhagenwheel does the same with the backwheel and the website currently works. I saw a guy with it in SF at a signal and asked him how he liked it and he said "I love it!" so there's a random anecdote.
- carapace 7y agoAh, that's a beautiful, elegant design. The geoorbital comes off in a jiffy and you can take it with you (e.g. when you have to lock you bike outside) but the Copenhagen is so stylish.
- meej 7y agoI have one of these and I really really liked it until the motor started cutting out while pressing the throttle. Sent it in for repairs twice, got a new ebike while waiting for them to send it back the second time. It was great for the 9 months it lasted, though.
