I'm just taking the conservation of energy route.
Assume constant power output P. P = force * velocity (dot product used here). Since the force of the wheel along the direction of motion is effectively reduced by a factor of 1/sqrt(2), the velocity must increase by a factor of sqrt(2) to maintain that power output.
