Heres a pretty cool invention that a group of students from MIT came up with for the James Dyson Award. Read more about it below.

Christine Outram and a team of MIT students invented of a wheel that turns a regular bike into a smart, electric hybrid. The Copenhagen Wheel allows riders to capture the energy dissipated when breaking and cycling and use it when they need it, like when they’re biking up a hill.
The mechanism is controlled through a rider’s smart phone, strapped onto the handlebars. The phone’s GPS system also enables riders to track road conditions, congestion, and pollution levels.

Tre’s wheel was hanging in the bike shop when the hub flange snapped creating a gunshot noise. It is something I have never heard of before. Has anyone else experienced a hub fail when the wheel wasn’t even being used?
