RevoPower Wheel
The RevoPower Wheel really revs up the adrenaline and is a wheel with a difference. This radical bicycle wheel has a 25cc two stroke chain drive engine in it, all the speed devils out there will love this thing. Because of the small size engine one wouldn’t need a license to ride thus its targeted at a wider demographic. It is capable of touching 20 mph and runs at 200 miles per gallon.
The wheel has a series of sprockets & chains and weighs less than 15 pounds (5 kg). The wheel operates silently and is EPA and CARB compliant. So this makes the bike very environmentally friendly. No word on pricing or availability but you can check out the web page for more information. https://www.revopower.com/
