How much weight does this add to the bike?
Can it be easily adapted to derailleur hubs?

RE: MIT unveils 'smart' bicycle wheel that stores, releases energy
BLUETOOTH? In a WHEEL? Are you M.I.T. people SANE? What do you do next time? Bluetooth in every ****ink strand of grass? Come on, don't always try to invent/construct thing full of electronics.
The idea is not bad, the wheel storing energy, then releasing on demand. But i'm sure it could be made only using electric/mechanic components (electric is NOT electronic).
But this is just my opinion...

Zodarr, it looks from the video that Bluetooth is used to control the
wheel from your smartphone, presumably to simplify installation. But
your general point is not misguided - smarteverything, bluetooth
everywhere; like it or lump it, it seems to be the way of the future.
