GreenWheel

GreenWheel

Creator:Ryan Chin and Michael Chia-Lian Lin

Name: GreenWheel

Location:MIT

The GreenWheel was developed by MITS Smart Cities programs. The GreenWheel is a bicycle wheel that has an electric motor and batteries embedded within it. It is small and able to be retrofitted to any bike. It can turn any pedal-powered bike into a fully-electric bicycle. All you have to do is twist the handle mounted throttle and a bluetooth connection tells the electric motor to provide thrust. The wheel is charged by plugging it into a grid or by pedaling. A full charged wheel will give the motor a range of roughly 25 miles.
