The Copenhagen wheel was announced 4 years ago, and since then we've had copycats like the FlyKly back in October(http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flykly/flykly-smart-wheel http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flykly/flykly-smart-whee...). In case, like me, you wondered why this was news - it's because they're actually putting it on sale. I'm curious as to what they mean by a battery life of 1000 cycles, when there's regenerative braking and I'd hit more than 3 hills a day on my commute[1], so is that 1 year? [1]ok to be fair I work from home now, so my 20 mile each way commute is now a morning jaunt on the bike to wake me up.
