Don't get too excited - its targeted at bicycles! With the Ducati wing on production duties.
That said, the technology is KERS based (yup from Formula 1) and with Ducatis involvement (at least in the production) we may start seeing KERS getting used on motorbikes soon.
The gear thing about this design (the Copenhagen wheel) is that can be retro-fitted to bicycles - ie just change the wheel on yer old bike. If it goes over to motorbikes then you could just install the new wheels on your existing bike... and use the energy gen'd from KERS to power acceleration/battery/christmas lights (if thats how ye choose to live yer life)
Wave o' the future people.
