  1. I was looking at CNN and did a search for the latest news using the word bicycle.

    I came across this tidalforce.comindex.html

    Retired Gen. Wesley K. Clark, the guy who just threw his hat into the ring, is the chairman of the
    board of WaveCrest Laboratories. I don't know anything about the 'new' technology involved and
    whether it is unique or just uses his name to sell, but it might be worth a look if you have some
    free time.

    I am not into electric bikes, but they are popular here in Holland (primarily because this is a flat
    country and the distances between villages and cities are not so great). Just passing this on ...
    bike related and very mildly political.

    Well interesting but too short a range for anything but cityriding it seems to me. 24 km isnt a
    whole lot if you need to get there and back. But maybe thats if you use the assist continuously. 30
    kg also seems a bit high and is it a good idea to put the battery in the hub? If you could ditch the
    battery and use it as a regular bike I feel it would be more versatile. Ditching a wheel doesnt
    sound like an option tho. 😉

    Thanks for the link Mikael

  3. Note that the website suggests that the bike might have military applications. It is common for companies that are trying to sell to the military to have ex-military in the company somewhere.

  4. the subject should have had a question mark ...?

  5. It will be great when they can manage to put regenerative braking in to help recharge the batteries.
