The wheel giving cyclists an extra push

A device which turns a push bike into an electric hybrid bicycle has been developed.

The Copenhagen Wheel can be attached to most bicycles and contains an onboard computer, battery, sensors and motor which respond to the rider's pedalling behaviour.

An accompanying app allows cyclists to control the level of power assistance, track their journey and share data with other users.

Althought they tried to find its owner from its chip, it wasn't possible, so it remained in the SPCA wainting for adoption.

Kai became a superstar overnight - his picture was beamed all over the world and hundreds of people volunteered to take him in.

Offers came from as far away as America, France, Spain and even the Philippines.
