For all the Sam Flynns out there who need more exercise, you'll soon be able to trade in your electric Light Cycles for pedal-powered Cyclotrons on your joyrides and daily commutes. The self-described "Future of Cycling" is a manual bicycle fitted with hubless, spokeless wheels, and packed with a host of hi-tech functions and feats of design.

The Cyclotron's most obvious departure from traditional bicycles is its elimination of wheel hubs and spokes. The company calls the transformation an improvement because: 1) the now-hollow wheels can serve as "utility slots" for cargo storage; 2) it allows for fully integrated brakes and better aerodynamics, as well as integrated mud guards; and 3) bike tires will be airless, made of solid polymer, and last for over 6,000 miles.

The Cyclotron's internal E-Gear Box and encapsulated drive train options enhance bike operation and maneuverability by allowing shifts in less than 0.2 seconds, and up / down shifts under load while standing still. The 18-speed E-Gear Box model has a full auto-shift mode, and manual gear box models, in both 18- and 12-speed, provide optimal gear suggestions.

Integrated automatic smart lights and a self-charging Li-ion battery pack to power them TRON the Cyclotron out even more, as do the bike's 10+ built-in sensors and accompanying Cyclo App. Sensors operate on the Bluetooth Smart / LE standard and detect all relevant cycling data, which is sent to the Cyclo App in real time, plus auto saved to a Cyclo-Log for later use.
