A method of mounting a non-pneumatic tire onto a hub to provide a non-pneumatic wheel is provided. Certain portions of spokes of the non-pneumatic tire are connected to grooves along the hub. The tire is repeatedly rotated and deformed to allow the remaining portions of the spokes to be connected with the grooves in order to fully mount the tire onto the hub.

Methods for wirelessly communicating with vehicle adapted to be at least partially powered by a human are disclosed. An example method may include transmitting data from a device remote from the vehicle and configured to communicate with the vehicle, receiving the data at the vehicle, and configuring a parameter of the vehicle based on the data.

A method of mounting a non-pneumatic tire (102) onto a hub (300) to provide a non-pneumatic wheel (100). Certain portions of spokes (106) of the non-pneumatic tire (102) are connected to grooves (318) along the hub (300). The tire (102) is repeatedly rotated and deformed to allow the remaining portions of the spokes (106) to be connected with the grooves (318) in order to fully mount the non-pneumatic tire (102) onto the hub (300).

Embodiments of wheel spoking systems and methods of manufacturing and installing. An electrically motorized wheel can include a wheel rim, a wheel hub, and a plurality of wheel spokes connecting the wheel rim to the wheel hub wherein first and second ends of each of the plurality of wheel spokes are connected to the wheel rim and a curved portion of each of the plurality of wheel spokes interface with curved spoke pockets of the wheel hub.

The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a bicycle wheel. A fairing is positioned relative to a base rim that comprises a plurality of anchor holes. A hub is positioned in the central opening and a plurality of spokes inserted into the hub. A spoke is fed from a first side of the fairing to a second side of the fairing through a respective spoke access opening in the fairing. The fairing is pulled back from the base rim to provide a work opening and the spoke manipulated from the second side of the fairing via the work opening to guide the first spoke to a respective anchor opening in the base rim. The spoke is attached to the base rim using a respective spoke nipple. The outer portion of the fairing is bonded to the base rim to create a deep aerodynamic rim.
