# 2024 WheelTech |
|
Air pollution, high greenhouse gas emissions, and traffic congestion are critical issues in densely populated cities like Mexico City and New York, primarily driven by traditional combustion engine vehicles. WheelTech offers a cost-effective solution via an integrated electric wheel that converts bicycles, motorcycles, and tricycles into electric vehicles. Combining batteries, controllers, GPS, and an electric motor in a single unit, WheelTech enables real-time monitoring and optimization, reducing carbon footprints, enhancing urban logistics, and supporting global sustainability efforts
