The FlyKly Smart Wheel is not a concept that will be applied to a brand new model of bicycle; this incredible product is an add-on to your current pushbike. In this compact casing, you are afforded a power assistance feature that enables you to speed 20mph for a 30 miles, without breaking a sweat.
The e-bike invention actually comes as a package, already connected to a bike wheel and its spokes. To install it, replace your own rear wheel with this one. The FlyKly Smart Wheel system comes with a smartphone app that gathers statistics on your cycling speeds and preferred topographical routes, and the program can even remotely lock your motor so that it cannot be used by anyone else.
