Smart Design: M.I.T. Builds A B.I.K.E.
General Design, Product Innovation
Introducing the Copenhagen Wheel, an M.I.T. project designed to introduce a smarter, new era of bicycling. Infused with Bluetooth capabilities, this bike lets you know updated status of speed, distance, direction and theft. Yeah, that’s right. Someone tries to tinker with your locked up bike, and you get a text message.
Even better, when you apply your brakes, you are also creating and storing enough energy to give yourself a power boost for later use. The stored kinetic energy is managed by KERS, or the Kinetic Energy Recovery System installed on the rear wheel.
