Spoke POV is an easy-to-make electronic kit toy that turns your bicycle wheel into a customized display! The project includes a free schematic design, open source software for uploading and editing stored bitmap images, and a high-quality kit with all the parts necessary to build your own.

That's actually pretty killer...but would it only work if the wheels were going a certain speed?

Here's what the kit website says:

With one spoke, persistence at a speedy 15mph. Two spokes for cruising at 10mph. Three for a leisurely 7mph!

I like to ride my bike in the summer, though... and hate to do it in the dark because of dumb drivers and lack of street lights... this would be cool.

You know, as I think about this, you could use this kit for stuff other than bikes... I mean, you want to talk about dudes with badass rims on their ricers... how about this on your Vee Dub?

I was thinking the exact same thing. I could put up pac-man and ghosts on my truck rims. Screw those spinners. lol

there was a company making displays like this for fans, the same people that make the budweiser globes that rely on pov

if I can find the site I will update here

Cool. Is there on which will diplay a hand flipping someone off? I'd start riding a bike to work for that.

If you read the page at the link you'll know the answer.

it's much easier if you just answer him Chad

ChadTower · « **Reply #14 on:** March 14, 2006, 09:30:28 am »

For him, yeah, but that's his issue.

That's some serious automobile bling.

Wow, that's pretty cool. I wouldn't mind having some on my car.

And a great way to make burnouts seem "unAmerican" to try and discourage the young hoons too...
