It transforms ordinary bicycles quickly into hybrid e-bikes that also function as mobile sensing units. The Copenhagen Wheel allows you to capture the energy dissipated while cycling and braking and save it for when you need a bit of a boost. It also maps pollution levels, traffic congestion, and road conditions in real-time. SENSE AND SUSTAINABILITY Controlled through your smart phone, the Copenhagen Wheel becomes a natural extension of your everyday life. You can use your phone to unlock and lock your bike, change gears and select how much the motor assists you. As you cycle, the wheel?s sensing unit is also capturing your effort level and information about your surroundings, including road conditions, carbon monoxide, NOx, noise, ambient temperature and relative humidity. Access this data through your phone or the web and use it to plan healthier bike routes, to achieve your exercise goals or to meet up with friends on the go. You can also share your data with friends, or with your city - anonymously if you wish ? thereby contributing to a fine-grained database of environmental information from which we can all benefit.

But where do I get one, and how much of a hole is it going to put in my bank account? Details sadly lacking, as is often the case with this kind of project that has been put together by bright eyed, bushy tailed young students with a vision but not much in the way of real backing. The website & vid were released late last year and since then its all been quiet. And too bad if you dont have an iPhonePodThing. Don't get me wrong - It's great idea for sure. It just reeks of a great idea that will just slip away and quietly die in a corner somewhere. :( -----Original Message----- From: eclectika-bounces@wudee.net [mailto:eclectika-bounces@wudee.net] On Behalf Of Lochy Sent: Friday, 20 August 2010 7:43 AM To: Eclectika Subject: [eclectika] copenhagen wheel (fwd) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- http://senseable.mit.edu/copenhagenwheel/ THE COPHENHAGEN WHEEL Smart, responsive and elegant, the Copenhagen Wheel is a new emblem for urban mobility.
