I've had my Superpedestrian wheel for long enough now that I think I have a pretty good sense what I like/dislike about it, so I figured I'd post a review: Pros: It is quiet. There’s no buzzing or mechanical noise what-so-ever. It has sufficient power to help get me up the 100 m high, 8%...

Thanks for the link. It is an interesting read but I have to say I have mixed feelings about what I read there... The law is the law but I don't like Superpedestrian's tactics either. They come across as patent squatters. I ordered a wheel from Superpedestrian over a year ago. Their lack of...

I recently did the same thing. I'll consider ordering one if they ever get to market with it and it appears to be reliable but I am tired of waiting on a product from a company that seems to have so much contempt for its customers. Instead of providing timely updates and realistic projections...

Update 2: Still no word on any wheels having been shipped. And it seems that there are even conflicting opinions internally within Superpedestrian about when we can expect them. Twitter user Kate Donovan indicated in a tweet today that she was told that orders placed today would...

Update: Still no word of any wheels having been shipped... Superpedestrian promised they'd ship the first wheels before the end of spring 2015. When that deadline passed, they said very little other than posting one or two Facebook comments where they indicated that they'd ship the first...

I probably will wait it out. It is just frustrating when a company seems unwilling to reach out to their customers with timely updates on their progress towards delivery. Especially so when they blow through a long quoted deadline without so much as a word. No apology, no "hey, we missed that...

If you trust that the people posting on their Facebook page are representative of their customers in general, then people seem to be running out of patience... Plenty of customers have been waiting 18+ months since paying for their wheel. I haven't been waiting that long but I think I'll cancel...

I was in a similar predicament. I've been riding the same bike for 18 years now (upgraded and maintained along the way so that only really the frame, forks and bars are original) and really like the fit of it. I didn't want to defile my trusty steed by adding an electric wheel so I went looking...

It is useful. Thank you very much for taking the time to write all of that out. For better or for worse, I ended up ordering one from "the other guys" because it promised more range and had the option of using a cassette rather than a single fixed gear. I guess we'll see if they'll have similar...

I guess everyone has their own biases so I went out and found a pretty good site for estimating e-bike range (http://www.ebikemaps.com/). Thanks, pxpaulx, for the idea! I attempted to make an objective comparison between the FlyKly and Superpedestrian smart hubs on there. In the absence of...

Thanks, JoePah. What I liked about the FlyKly is that they are actually shipping, unlike the Copenhagen wheel, which so far is only vapourware. But if the FlyKly isn't going to do what I need, then I'll have to either wait for the Copenhagen wheel or find another solution.

Hi, I'm thinking about buying one of these hubs but it is a bit of a commitment to plunk down 1100 USD without first having a chance to ride one. That doesn't completely dissuade me, but I'd like to hear some feedback from actual owners. Anyone care to share their experience with it? -...
