Lo and behold, the kinetic peripheral popped up on the Hardware Alley floor at TechCrunch Disrupt, here in NYC. Actually trying the thing out is a bit much to ask in the crowded Manhattan Center, but the company was nice enough to demo the device with a little good old-fashioned hand power.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">The system is pretty minimally invasive, from the looks of it. The removable battery pack sits next to the rear wheel axle, and there's also a USB port just below the seat for charging devices more directly. Get in early, and you'll be able to pick the system up for $85. Not convinced? Check out the company's plea in a video just after the break.</div></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="349" id="viddler-a27270cf" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="//www.viddler.com/embed/a27270cf/?f=1&offset=0&autoplay=0&secret=56305515&disablebranding=0&view_secret=56305515" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="545"></iframe></div>
