Pedal power

Due to their small dimensions, low weight and high accuracy, Kaydon Reali-Slim bearings have provided an efficient solution for a high-tech bicycle wheel that is known as the Copenhagen Wheel.

The development enables a cyclist to store energy from braking and use it to provide an extra boost when overtaking or on tough gradients.

Using sensors and wireless connection to an iPhone on the handlebars, it can monitor speed, direction, traffic conditions, and collect data on air pollution.
