GeoOrbital Wheel | Make your bike electric in 60 seconds (Kickstarter)

Anyone seen this yet? The velcro straps that go around the fork scare me. Also, how grimy will that thing get in the rain?

Cool looking but yeah, scary design I think with a front wheel based motor. I think crank-based e-assists are where it’s at, or if you want easy retrofitting onto a bike, maybe the Copenhagen wheel (never seen one in person but they seem better designed).

Holy mack, I like it. Negative the tire is not changeable nor a standard design. And a negative you are limited to rim brakes.
