MIT Copenhagen Wheel Official Release

  I'm assuming this doesn't work out for people who ride fixed gear?

    It actually looks like it's using fixed wheel hubs in the video, to me.

      Hmnn, I'm not quite sure, there was a lot of coasting and some slight back-pedaling going on in the video... Also, thinking about how this thing works, I'm not sure it would work so great on a fixed gear bike.... if you're strapped/clipped in, you definitely want to be in full control of how fast you're pedaling, random boost might throw you off balance or force you to pedal awkwardly

        Ug. I had completely mistaken 'single gear' for 'fixed wheel'. Sorry, all my bikes have derailleurs.
