The students on MIT have worked hard to create this sustainable vehicle design which finally exhibited at the COP15 Climate Change Conference. Dubbed Copenhagen Wheel The industrial design is a smart wheel that integrating a kinetic energy recovery system (KERS), sensors and a smart lock takes bicycle wheel technology to the next level.
The KERS system generates energy as soon as the rider uses the break, and then store the produced energy in the wheel for future use. The onboard sensors displays the speed covered distance, direction, pollution levels and proximity of friends on the road via Bluetooth connection to the rider’s iPhone that smartly mounts on the handlebars for easy access.
Anti-theft system is also installed by sending automated text message to the user's phone whenever someone tries to steal the bike.
