1. A device of an electrically motorized wheel to convert a non-motorized wheeled vehicle to an electrically motorized wheeled vehicle via installation of the device, the device comprising:

  • a static system and a rotating system around an axis of rotation, the static system coupled to the non-motorized wheeled vehicle;

    an electric motor selectively operable to rotate the rotating system relative to the static system;

    a mechanical drive system coupled to the rotating system, the mechanical drive system operable to rotate the rotating system in response to a rotational input applied by a user;

    a sensor system mounted to the electrically motorized wheel, the sensor system operable to identify parameters indicative of the rotational input;

    a control system mounted to the electrically motorized wheel, the control system in communication with the sensor system to continuously control the electric motor in response to the rotational input; and

    a power source mounted to the electrically motorized wheel, the power source electrically connected to the control system and the electric motor,wherein the static system comprises a hardware interface in communication with the control system and the power source, the hardware interface operable to facilitate data communication between an accessory device and the control system, enable electric power flow from the accessory device to the power source or enable electric power flow from the power source to the accessory device.
