   > The Electromagnetic Drive is a system for electrically propelling a bicycle   
   or other vehicle by placing permanent magnets on the rim of the wheel or   
   wheels, and having one or more electromagnets placed adjacent to them to drive   
   the wheel. A working    
   geometry is provided between an electromagnet and permanent magnet, which   
   allows for electrically driving the wheel of a vehicle such as a bicycle with   
   enough power to eliminate pedaling. A sensor unit senses the positions of   
   the magnets relative to the electromagnets, and applies appropriately timed   
   pulses of electricity to a interface. The interface amplifies the pulses from   
   the sensor and inputs them into the electromagnets. Permanent magnets mounted   
   on the wheel create a    
   high efficiency force between the electromagnets and the permanent magnets.   
   Because of the light weight, it adds little extra effort for the bicyclist   
   when the drive mechanism is not engaged. As a supplemental feature,   
   circuitry is provided for recharging batte

   Sounds better used as a generator, than a motor!
