Wheelchair?
Has anyone tried to attach these to a wheelchair? Will it work or do you need to get up a fair speed before the effect kicks in?

Re: Wheelchair?
You really need to be moving at a good clip to see the effect.
From the FAQ:
From the FAQ:
How fast do I have to pedal?
On a mountainbike wheel, I have found that with 1 SpokePOV you should bike 15mph/24kph. With 2 SpokePOV, bike 10mph/16kph. With 3 SpokePOVs, 7mph/11kph. This will give a nice persistant image. The faster the better, of course.
Larger wheels you might have to bike a little faster. Smaller wheels, you can go slower.
SpokePOV has been tested to work at 30mph (but can probably go even faster)

15mph is that all. I can do that - downhill that is!
