I just saw this and it looks really cool, apparently it's been one of the most successful kickstarter projects ever.

It's a front bicycle wheel that has a electric motor in it, you just quick release your standard one, put on the electric wheel, strap the throttle cable to your handlebars and that's it, your off on your now electrified bike.

The website is below and are taking pre orders at a lower introductory price, the wheels are expected to be sent out in Feb 2017.

It would be a LOT cheaper than most electrified bikes......The only thing that has me concerned is the weight of it [?], and how having that much more weight than normal at the front will effect steering.

I once got the electric motor off of a broken bumper car and tried to adapt it to my bike. The thing got loose and shredded by back tyre... :/
