The Super Wheel

We do know that heat waves are becoming more severe and more frequent, and they're lasting longer, we also know that Lithium batteries are highly temperature sensitive.
E-bike batteries in the UAE typically last 1.5 to 3 years. The harsh climate accelerates internal resistance, speeding up cell decay
Extreme heat accelerates chemical reactions inside lithium-ion batteries. This leads to the following issues-Accelerated Degradation, Irreversible Capacity Loss & Safety Risks: Storing a battery in a hot environment (especially if it's near a 100% charge) dramatically increases the risk of overheating or severe malfunctions.
Storing or leaving an e-bike battery in temperatures over 36° C (95° F) can cause irreversible damage, even if it is not in use.
Keep your E bike out of the hot temperature.

Does the new EU regulation on battery and heatwave become more intense & frequently make the already saturated EU e bike market more challenging and the impacts on the battery lifespans?
'Under the EU Batteries Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, electric bicycles are legally categorized under Light Means of Transport (LMT) batteries. The year 2027 marks the transition from planning to strict enforcement, introducing major digital traceability, design, and compliance rules that will fundamentally rewrite how e-bike batteries are tracked, sold, and repaired within Europe'
Other than the battery materials, digital passport, manufacturers also are fully responsible for the end-of-life batteries collection, transportation, and recycling of e-bike batteries.

Europe swelters as temperatures in France could hit 40C Much of Western Europe is sweltering in a gruelling heatwave with temperatures expected to continue rising in the coming days, likely shattering yet more records.

Follow the stock checking, We have a couple of SuperWheel Comet models available.

Delighted of receiving the development funding approval from Enterprise Ireland.
The funding will be used to complete the independent efficiency validation testing, hopefully can cover both the Comet & ECO models.
We will be discussing our proposal with the technology manager, next week.

Weight-to-energy technology - The ancient wisdom
"Tai Chi" principle of transforming external, opposing forces into usable energy
Active & Reactive force are opposite in direction, but they are actually facing & impacting at 6 o'clock position of the wheel, where the wheel is in contact with the ground.
The interaction at the 6 o'clock position is the fundamental core of the SuperWheel weight-to-energy technology, representing a precise point of impact where two opposing forces are harnessed for propulsion.
The SuperWheel acts as a dual-input power unit and mechanically "recycling" the impact of the potential energy originally from the user's weight at the impact of the 6 o'clock position.

The SuperWheel technology achieves the efficiency benefits by utilising a unique mechanism that transforms gravitational potential energy and ground reactive force directly into rotational energy. This "weight-to-energy" conversion serves as the foundation of a non-electric power assistant system to improve bicycle efficiency, and improve the efficiency & lifespan on small battery powered mobility with the electrical hybrid motor systems with the SuperWheel Comet & ECO system.

Many people misunderstood the system of the wheel in one piece, the SuperWheel actually is in two parts & using a coupling design to allow the energy conversion. The technology info shown in the photo is covered by patent protection.
Active & reactive forces are opposite in direction, the interpretation on A & R forces on wheel is they are in opposite direction, but they meet at 6 o'clock position where the tyre contact the ground.
The SuperWheel mechanism is located between the two forces.
therefore the hub & rim are two separate sections & connected with a set of transfer plates that allow the transfer of rotational energy and also allow 'up & down' movement caused by the potential energy from weight during operation.-
This is the transfer mechanism between the hub(weight) and Rim(ground reactive force), two slots fitted on the rim section and the other two on the hub section.
This is to allow functioning of the system, energy conversion mechanism inside .
This is the older model design. There is no motor, just rubbers, and springs..

Global temperature rising and E bike .
Too hot for an E bike ?
Extreme heat accelerates the chemical aging of lithium-ion e-bike batteries, leading to permanent capacity loss. Riding or storing a battery in temperatures above \(35^{\circ }\text{C}\) (\(95^{\circ }\text{F}\)) stresses internal components. Left unprotected in a heat wave, a battery can suffer from reduced range, degraded lifespan, or in extreme cases, thermal runaway.

Too Hot for eBikes? Does Extreme Weather Affect Lithium Ion Batteries? How much of an impact does extreme hot or cold affect an eBike? Can the batteries handle the increasingly high summer temperatures? Lithium Ion batteries hav...
