Ride around town on your bicycle.

Electron’s got the next iteration of their Electron Wheel coming, as they showed it off at CES this year. As sort of a promotion, the company got cyclist Max Lippe to ride a bike with their wheel attached from New Yorkto the show, a 2880 mile journey.

The Electron Wheel replaces the front wheel of your bike. It comes with a number of features, including the obvious, like hill assist. The top speed of a bike with the wheel installed is about 20 MPH. And the battery can last up to 50 miles of range.

And just so that you don’t need to whip out your phone, it comes with Google Assistant integrated. With that, you can not only find directions, but also adjust the amount of electronic assistance the wheel gives you.

Electron wheel is available for pre-order for $799 right now, and expected to begin shipping in February.
