Hey @andreasduess, not quite! There are some major differences between our systems. Electron Wheel is a front wheel replacement which doesn't require tools to install, you always retain use of your rear gear cluster, and our price is $300 less.

that's so cool! is there any special anti-theft system?
Hey @neil_borden, we've engineered two loop throughs on both sizes of wheel to allow the user to lock their wheel separately from their bike. We're also working on some anti-theft features to be integrated into our app.
This wheel alone weigh 9kg. It's heavier than my road bike and I can't imagine cycling with it turned off even on a flat road. Or are you suppose to turn it on all the time?
Hey @howiec, you can ride with the wheel powered off without issue, though most user's do elect to ride with it on. We have three power levels to choose from depending on the assist you're wanting on your ride and a range of 30 miles. Impact on turning radius due to weight is only marginally impacted at speeds below 20mph.

@howiec Would be interested to know how this affects handling as well. That's a fair bit of weight added to the front wheel.
Hey @cemedericarak, no regenerative braking on our FWD system as the energy captured would be marginal. But we do have a 30 mile range, three power modes to toggle between to maximize battery, and you can certainly ride with the wheel off if you prefer. We also have a rapid charging option which will give you a full charge in just 2-3 hours :)
