While peddling, the rear Carbon and Steel wheel rotates around a circular brush. This causes and electric direct current to build, which feeds into a capacitor located at the bottom of the frame.

When demanded by the rider, the stored charge is used on a motor to feed the front wheel rearwards, aided by the steering guide. Once the front wheel is in place, an onboard torque motor located in the front of the frame engages the positioned front tire.

This energy feedback system allows the rider an opportunity to rest while the bike propels itself forwards. The added torque can aid the rider when attempting various hillclimbs, and most importantly, not all energy exerted by the rider is expended.
