More Than Efficient
You probably already know the Copenhagen Wheel makes cycling more efficient by saving the rider time and effort, but we also made the Wheel itself extremely energy efficient as a way to make the most of its compact size and weight.
The Wheel has multiple states of energy consumption, each developed to fit a different use case. When you ride, the Wheel consumes the least amount of energy necessary to provide the power you want. Our custom-wound motor delivers the ultimate combination of power and energy consumption, regardless of your riding style. Beyond this, the motor can also capture kinetic energy - a process known as regenerative braking. These features allow you to control your speed, extend your range and reduce the net amount of energy you consume, all at once.
Designed to be efficient whether on rides or at rest, when you get off your bike the Wheel waits to see if you’re done riding and, after a period of inactivity, will go into sleep mode to conserve energy. When you approach the Wheel again, it wakes up and reenables assist so it’s ready to ride. All this happens in the background - there’s no need to press any buttons or flip any switches. And if you go on a long vacation, you can physically turn off the Wheel so it goes into deep sleep, further conserving energy and extending the life of your battery. In sum, the Wheel fits seamlessly into your rides by using your energy and its own to maximum effect.
