FlyKly smart wheel for bicycles

The FlyKly Smart Wheel, allows riders to easily convert their existing bike into an electric ride simply by changing the wheel. Launched on Kickstarter, the FlyKly system comes with a light that is charged by energy from the front wheel of the bike, and excess energy is used to charge your Smartphone. Smart Wheel’s genius design packs a lot of power and keeps its weight as light as possible. It goes up to 20 mph (25 km/h) for a 30 miles (50 km) range and it weights only 9 lbs (4 kg). Smart Wheel is a pedal assist which means it helps you ride your bike effortlessly. The motor turns on when you start pedaling and begins accelerating to your desired speed. It stops when you stop. It saves you time by getting you to your destination faster and gets you there without losing your breath or breaking a sweat. Check out the Kickstarter campaign here.

Smart Wheel is designed to fit practically any bicycle frame. It comes in different sizes and colors. It is also designed with simplicity of installation in mind, so there are no cables etc. to install. The FlyKly operates via Bluetooth on an iOS, Android and Pebble Watch compatible app, which allows riders to set a maximum speed, track rides, lock the wheel from spinning and in the unfortunate event of a theft, track its location. The FlyKly's user interface is seamless: Simply set a maximum electric speed and start pedaling. The electric motor kicks in then, and will accelerate the the desired speed pedal faster and the max speed can be exceeded. If a rider starts coasting, the electric assistance shuts off automatically.
