Motorized bicycle wheel for lazy environmentalists

Simply called “The Wheel” by RevoPower, the product manages to squeeze in a small 25 cc two stroke engine which is said to be able to accelerate a bike to 20 mph over flat ground, while offering 100 miles to the gallon. While not the optimal amount of emissions for a tree hugger, it sure as hell is healthier then driving a hummer.
The two stroke tank runs off of gas mixed with oil, and to save room, the water bottle holder no longer holds a beverage, but your gas tank. Just remember not to drink out of the tank. That could be bad unless you’re some mutant humanoid who runs off of petroleum. The wheel will cost between $400 and $500 and is planned for release in the spring of this year. If you want to moderate your gas consumption, the wheel is usable without using the motor, yet its heavy weight of 12+ lbs would make it one exhausting ride. — Andrew Dobrow
