    Plastic drive pulley attached to the spokes? I'll pass.
    That's a toy, not a serious piece of long-term-useful kit.

    Of course, I expect no better from PopMech; that rag's been
    known for looney gear for as long as I've been aware of its
    existence. Pick up any issue that's over 15 to 20 years old,
    and you're just about guaranteed to find that one or more of
    the articles covers tech that either was bogus, badly
    executed, conceptually flawed, or otherwise laughably wrong
    in retrospect...and they lauded it as the wave of the
    future. More like the hand-wave of the future has-been, in
    my experience.
