Hello BBF,
I am one of 3 finalists in the ‘Take One Small Step competition’. The entry is called “Fast Forward”.
The winner is now based solely on votes from you.
My product is a pair of powered cycle pedals. These replace your standard pedals and provide you with assistance to get you up hills, or carry heavy loads. Each pedal incorporated a motor, gearbox, Li-po batteries and a control board. As you pedal the sensors detect your effort and provide assistance. To pedal without assistance, simply flip the pedals over. They unclip and slot into a charger for charging, much like with a power tool. When fully developed they will provide a range of 10 miles and peak power of 200W. They will retail for around £200. This product will help many get cycling again.
To help me develop the product fully, please vote for me at:-

To vote simply type the fuzzy number into the box and click ‘vote’.
Please pass this link onto as many people as you can, face book etc. The main competition is a pilot who is essentially encouraging more private plane journeys, not very good for the environment.
Best wishes,
Stephen Britt.
