If you find traffic conditions grave, if it is taking more time than it should and more importantly if you are a health freak and have it in you to do things differently then, The RevoPower Wheel is just what you need. It is a gas-powered bicycle. It would obviously be irrational to ride your way to a far-off destination but when distance is not a problem then why not on this cool pair of wheels. It is a new patented technology that incorporates a 25cc two-stroke gas-powered engine and gears within the front wheel of a bicycle. It can be installed on any bicycle within 15 minutes, and gets over 200 miles per gallon at a top speed of 20 mph. The mechanism is simple involving a small motor, turning at up to 7,500 rpm, drives a unique gear train which causes the wheel to rotate around a fixed axle. Reduction gearing within the hub delivers the appropriate combination of torque and speed to the wheel.

You can ride the bicycle normally when the motor is off, or when the bicycle is traveling faster than the engine speed. The motor only engages when the speed of the bike is slower than the engine is traveling. The Wheel can be used manually or motorized at any time.
The RevoPower Wheel, preassembled in a 26″ rim and tire, consists of:
• One fuel tank that fits in a standard water bottle cage
• One water bottle cage for fuel bottle
• One throttle control that clips to the handlebars
• Necessary cables and tools needed to aid installation
Most jurisdictions don’t demand a license for riding this and it is expected to debut in Q1 2007 retailing around $400. So ride your way to fun ‘n’ frolic.
