I have the Roscoe Bubbe with Copenhagen Wheel. I had ordered the wheel pre-launch and waited 3 years for it. In 2013, it was $700. The wheel is terrific. It works very intuitively. I haven't weighed the bike but I don't think you are saving weight with this approach. The wheel is extremely heavy. The main benefit is that the appearance is sleek and doesn't limit your space for water bottles, racks, bags, etc. The distance it can go on a charge is about 30 miles. I need to upgrade the firmware because that is supposed to make the regenerative braking feature more effective, which would add to its range. They also upgraded the top speed to 25 mph. It has an exercise mode that provides resistance. I haven't tried that. There's a single speed option but not fixed gear. I'd be happy to answer any other questions. Roman took some nice pics of it that you can see here. <https://www.dropbox.com/sh/db3x1th95o7rqbl/AADq61LcTiFE_Qjlm9yuLbE7a?dl=0>
