Hi Guys,
Obviously this is on the front pedelecs page so most of you probably know about it now. Just wanted to say that I'm gutted that they invented it before me! Now my final year project scope has to change!
Still, its a great invention (minus the bluetooth controls). They would be much better off using a series of piezoelectric elements to launch high frequency sound pulses to activate and deactivate functions, thus eliminating the control battery, like some office intercomms use. After all, MIT made the RF piezoelectric shoe!
Maybe they could combine these to have pedal activated throttle! Ingenious.... now I have to hope they don't stumble across this thread before I've invented it!
What are your thoughts on the matter? Supposedly they will start to sell from 'several hundred dollars'. Thats quite an impressive price!
