Copenhagen Wheel Competing for Dyson Award
WorldChanging Team, 18 Aug 10
E-bike addition could transform traditional bikes.

Looks like the Copenhagen Wheel Adam Stein was so gaga about has topped the list of US regional entries, and will compete against 17 other inventions from around the world for the James Dyson Award of design.
The winner will be announced on August 24, but in the meantime, we can all enjoy the snappy marketing video above. At a retail price of $600, the Copenhagen Wheel may be priced low enough to make a big splash. MIT’s SENSEable City Lab (the wheel’s designers) says to look for the wheel in stores by June 2011.
