It has a very good design but the li-ion battery is covering the motor.. That must look clean, but performance and life span won't be so high

Battery in the wheel?! No thanks.

Do people ever actually ride the shit they design?

I see a local retailer (in Toronto) is now offering the FlyKly Smart PED Kick-Scooter:

... for $1,399.99 Cdn. (plus HST tax I assume)

Hehe... Takes me back to my first "ebike"... (Currie-built Phat Flyer) ... `cept without the (heavy, thick) deck carrying 2x 12V 10Ah sla batts.

One single kick and the new kick-assist system automatically turns on the electric motors and propels you further to extend your ride. The all-in-one electric motor, battery and electronics come from the Smart Wheel concept, all fitted in the rear wheel. The aluminum housing, consisting of an electro motor, battery set, electronics and forward thinking sensors, is meticulously assembled and crafted into a wonderful piece of tech. And then there is the security feature – you can lock your Smart Ped with a touch on the app. This innovative technology will also support the only legal e-kick-bike on the market.

I miss having any sense of balance. [sigh]
