"Instead of building a bicycle around electric power, GeoOrbital is a universal wheel you can swap into your existing bike to power your ride."
"The device replaces the front wheel in bikes with 26 inch or 700c (28 inch-29 inch) size tires; either way, its proprietary foam wheel won't get a flat when punctured. Its lithium-ion battery boost your bike up to 20 miles per hour for up to 50 miles, has a USB port to charge your devices while you ride, and recharges as you pedal, brake, or coast downhill."
This battery powered swap-in 'E-tire' may be more attractive to those interested in an E-bike rather than buying an entirely new bike. GeoOrbital says the retail price will be around $950.

I haven't had a conflict with an e-bike, but I reserve the right to complain about them, even if they have a legal right to use them in bike lanes.
I mean, Segway riders have a legal right to congregate on lakefront sidewalks, but I can still complain about them. I can even suggest that they perhaps shouldn't have that right, having essentially purchased it from politicians unconcerned with whether it is good policy...but I digress.
