ABOUT
While peddling, the carbon and steel wheel rotates around a circular brush. This causes an electric direct current to build, which feeds into a capacitor located at the bottom of the frame.
When demanded by the rider, the stored charge is used on a motor located at the front of the frame. Once the front wheel is in place, an onboard torque motor located on the frame engages the positioned front tire.
This energy feedback system allows the rider an opportunity to rest while the bike propels itself.
