They've asked me for my wheel details. I am going to buy a bike to fit it, namely a Raleigh Pioneer 2 Mens Hybrid. My theory is that it doesn't matter that it weighs 10 tons since my Copenhagen Wheel will whisk me up the hills without the merest hint of perpetration.

I am looking at the Copenhagen Wheel. When it arrives I i will post a picture of my outfit.


Strangely enough I have never seen one in Denmark, not even in the shops. Electric bikes are booming in Denmark.

[QUOTE 3850033, member: 259"]I think they're rare as hen's teeth everywhere. I'm really interested in hearing about beatlejuice's experiences with it. It was just called the Copehanegn wheel for marketing, like a swisskit had nowt to do with the land of cuckoo clocks![/QUOTE]

They are a spin off from MIT in Cambridge Massachusetts US of A.

[QUOTE 4442068, member: 259"]Just out of interest, did you ever get your wheel from them in the end?[/QUOTE]

Not a word. Might be a case of where fools rush in. Hopefully they're not on a Californian beach imbibing in Columbia finest!

Have a look at the Raleigh Strada e Hybrid, Shimano crank drive with integrated automatic Di-2 gear shifting.

Might try and see if I can have a trest ride on one myself!.

Finally it arrived this morning. It came fitted with a back block and a tyre. So it was easy peasey to fit to my Triban 3. It does what is says on the tin.

Result - of sorts.

Any chance of a pic or two?

I doubt many of us have ever seen a Copenhagen wheel.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Hoorah. About time, and very speedy delivery to boot. :laugh:. I have seen pictures of them, but never in the flesh so to speak.

IMG_4399.JPG IMG_7038.JPG Thanks welsh dragon. Here are two pictures. The eagle eyed amongst you will note that my Triban needs a bit of TLC. No wires, no gibbins on the handle bar, just an app on my phone. It only has a 270w battery so can only do some 30miles. But it was built for city use. It really does take the sting out of hills. :smile:
