Beware of PowerCranks
 
They are great in theory only. Not ony don't they work, but the crank
arms come off, making for a very DANGEROUS ride. You can try sending
them back several times, but they won't repair them correctly and
you'll get the same junk sent back. Stick with one-legged drills and
save yourself about a grand.

If you pair those PowerCranks with Sheldon Brown's PowerWheels you
will have a very, very fast bike!

I have some wonderful AVA rims I can sell. Built up well, you should get
maybe 200 miles before the spoke holes start to crack.

I had the same experience with PowerCranks. This product is garbage.

It's really outrageous for them Powercrank to charge so much for a
faulty design.

The proprietor of PowerCranks used to post here to rebut criticisms, but
I haven't seen anything from him for a while. Basically I suspect that
the price is high because (1) he promises that his product will make you
faster for which competitive people will pay lots of money and (2) his
business is small enough that he doesn't get much by way of economies of
scale to bring his production costs down.
