Well, if it holds up for the life of the bike (2 -3 years with little cleaning), then yes it probably could be disposable. I don't know enough to know if they change connections for the lights or not (since the lights are the expensive part it seems). If they don't, then it could work. Although the front wheel seems to have relatively little abuse in the winter, so assuming I stick with a 26" wheel, I could just move it between bikes as they get replaced.
