BRINGING THE BICYCLE TO THE 21ST CENTURY

Smart Wheel is here to offer a brand new perspective on the invention know as the bicycle: it will make an end to needless effort spent on pedaling, to being tired all the time, to being afraid of having your bike stolen. Smart Wheel now turns a ride through busy streets into a gentle breeze and flattens the steep hills into the horizon so you can finally focus on the road ahead.

TAKE YOUR BIKE ANYWHERE YOU GO

Having a Smart Wheel on your bike means distances are now becoming shorter. By quickly replacing your old rear wheel with this minimalistic pedal assist you’re now able to turn virtually any bicycle into an electric powered one. Just start pedaling and the Smart Wheel starts kicking in at speeds up to 25 mph. It can take you as far as 50 miles on a single charge which should be more than enough for your daily ride to work or school - and back! And in case you do run out of power you can always recharge it by riding downhill or pedaling on your own.

DRESS FOR THE DESTINATION, NOT THE RIDE

With Smart Wheel you will always be on time. Spare your breath and finally enjoy yourself for a change during your daily commute. There’s no need to be worried about getting to your morning meeting or an evening date all sweaty and sore. Smart Wheel helps you keep your efforts and spend the energy where it really matters.

INTRODUCING BICYCLE 2.0

Smart Wheel connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth 4.0 through which you’re now able to fully operate your bike. All you really need to do is set the top speed in the FlyKly App and you’re ready to go. The app helps you monitor your current speed as well as the time and the distance already travelled. When you’re done you can simply lock your bike with a touch of a button and even track it in case it starts moving. Smart Wheel learns from your habits and soon starts suggesting ways to improve your biking experience as well as experiences of your fellow cyclists.

ILLUMINATING THE ROAD AHEAD

To keep you safe and visible on the road you also need a Smart Light - another minimalistic design that quickly snaps onto your bike handles. It connects to an included dynamo generator that’s easily mounted on the front forks and flipped to the tire. Its revolving head generates enough current to power a brightly illuminating LED light inside the Smart Light so you can always clearly see what’s ahead of you.

HOLDING YOUR PHONE AT ARMS LENGTH

After connecting your smartphone you can just place it on the Smart Light which conveniently functions as a phone holder. You can always keep the smartphone in sight and constantly monitor your speed and other stats. Your phone is safely held in place by an adhesive surface that uses smart nanotechnology to ensure enough friction to prevent the phone from sliding off. And if that still doesn’t convince you, Smart Light also comes with additional safety straps for when the road becomes too rough.

KEEPING YOUR PHONE BATTERY CHARGED

Because power is already running to the Smart Light why not use it to charge your smartphone as well? We incorporated an USB hub that provides just enough current to charge your phone while you’re riding. Just plug your charger cable in the USB port and start pedaling. With the help of Smart Light you will never have to end up with an empty battery again.

TAKE FULL CONTROL OF YOUR RIDE

With our FlyKly App there’s nothing left to surprise you. You’re always less than a touch of a touchscreen away from knowing exactly how fast, how far and how long have you been riding your bike. FlyKly App learns from your cycling routines and uses this data to suggest faster, safer and altogether better routes and takes you where you’ve never before thought to go.

KEEPING YOUR BIKE ALWAYS SAFE, CLOSE AND SECURE

After parking your bike you simply lock it with a touch of a button on the FlyKly App. This locks the Smart Wheel’s motor and holds its strong magnets in place. If it starts moving regardless just launch the tracking feature and quickly locate your bike on a map by looking for the signal of Smart Wheel’s own GPS transmitter. FlyKly App constantly monitors the state of various Smart Wheel’s components which helps you check on the state of the motor and battery health.

SHARE YOUR BIKING EXPERIENCE WITH FRIENDS

The routes you take can now be shared with your friends even when they’re not there to join you. FlyKly App allows you to save your favorite paths and suggest them to other cyclists. You can also compare your biking experiences by collecting unique points based on how many miles you’ve already clocked in, how much you’ve decreased your carbon footprint and many other exciting achievements.

HELPING REDESIGNING CITY LANDSCAPES BOTTOM-UP

Information collected about your daily cycling habits can be anonymously uploaded to our database where you can explore how different people from different countries around the world are using their bikes everyday. These statistics will also be available to various cycling initiatives, traffic safety advocates, urban planners and city officials who can in turn use it to improve these urban enviroments and make them more bicycle-friendly.

About Flykly inc

In 2011 Niko Klansek introduced the first line of the FlyKly electric bicycles to the USA market. After the first experience with the electric bicycles he realized the many possibilities of how to innovate on the e-bike field. The time was ideal to finally actualize the idea he had for years on how to upgrade the ordinary bicycle with a motor and turn it into a pedal assist. Niko sketched the rough concept and started working with a team of engineers, designers, software developers and bicycle culture researchers and created the first working prototype in early 2013.

Peter Frantar

Peter is the co-founder of Vorteks LLC, which manufactures the innovative electric motor suitable for a variety of applications. The company received the prestigious StartUp of the year award in 2012. In addition to being in charge of development in Vorteks LLC, he also works closely with his father’s company SIOP Elektronika.

Romina Kavcic

She has received many awards and recognitions for her designs and was also chosen as one of the top 30 web design agencies around the world. Prior to FlyKly she worked for one of the most successful slovenian startups, Zemanta.

Matej Colja

He is obsessed with scanning his surroundings and searching for irregularities that should be corrected in order to ensure a better life for everyone. He insists there is always room for improvement, while emphasising that the best design is hidden in the smallest details of the product. His achievements include his project Gardenwall winning the iF concept design award in Germany in 2011, as well as being proclaimed a perspective young designer in Slovenia for two years in a row. In 2012 he started working on project Smart Wheel as a designer and product developer, starting with solving small details to make electric bike kits more user-friendly and easier to install. In the end he combined all the smallest and most important details into the Smart Wheel chassis.

Marko Jurincic

He started out as a web developer in a small Slovenian startup, where he discovered his love for the startup world and creating products that can help people and make a difference in their lifestyle. Prior to FlyKly he worked as the main developer for Simbioz@ (a project that won the European Citizen’s award), helped develop a system for the Institute for Transfusion Medicine in Slovenia and also freelanced on some smaller mobile applications and games.

In 2010, Niko founded FlyKly electric bikes, launched it in USA and a year later in EU. His knowledge and experience concerning bicycles and electric bicycles helped the idea for Smart Wheel come to life.

Janez Frantar

His business started out as a small venture in his basement, but by 1990 it had become successful enough to build a workshop and create the company SIOP Elektronika LLC. Keeping up with the technological advances and maintaining a successful electrical engineering business apparently isn’t enough for him, since he’s always ready to offer his expertise to the Vorteks LLC, the manufacturer of the innovative electric motor.

Rok Cresnik

After some dull years in the corporate world, Rok wanted to expand his knowledge and challenge himself further. A couple of years ago he joined forces with Marko and Klemen and started working on his very first indie game.
