Sure, you can steam-punk modify pretty much any bike... and I can't say I'm very impressed or think we've improved anything when a lawn-mower engine powered bike roars down the street. However, don't knock the power good design can have in changing attitudes. And that means form and function. Part of the appeal of the hybrid wheel is the simplicity of the design; part of it is in the adaptability to most any bike; part of it is in the connection with your smart phone. For some, riding a bike is a step back to the old country or a time when they didn't have the income for a car or they simply view it as beneath them. Not me... but a product that helps make biking or electric-assisted biking sexier to a larger crowd is a good thing.
