Super
👍👍👍👍
Can you make the batpod from the dark knight?
👁️_👁️👍
Where’s the breaks?
The problem with this design is that you reach your destination more slowly due to the increased quantity of people asking what you're riding!
and it is even slower than before. look at him kicking in the pedals just to reach snail speed
😂
@@Zyclon_Break That's because of size ratio.
😂
With that transmission he wont go faster than 6mph
As a bike mechanic I am both genuinely impressed and just a little horrified. Beautiful work!
please check out my recap videos .
Why horrified?
@@Inkosi_uJabu_Ndlovu I'm guessing he isn't convinced of its overall safety in the hubless design but idk
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
yes, very clever. would have never thought of that idea.
@@Inkosi_uJabu_Ndlovu Most likely for the same reasons as me. I am horrified bc he massacred a fantastic bike skeleton. He turned it into a Frankenstein creation. But still, It was a perfect creation and we loved it and the imagination. I own several bikes and the thought of someone doing that to one of mine horrifies me. The creativity he puts into this is amazing.
What would look really cool is if you now fitted non-functional spokes to the hubs, so it looked like you were moving on stationary wheels!
🤣👍
THAT would be so trick!!
Genius idea
We ridin spinnaz
Or even make them turn backwards. And you call it "The Moon-ride"
The only problem with this design is that because you wrapped the chain around the wheel well, the gear ratio is much larger, so you gain less distance when you petal. You would spend alot more energy riding this bike than any other bike. Other than that, the design is really futuristic, it gives me a Tron vibe. Great work.
its easier to pedal, but you need to pedal faster
That's right, more pedaling or more times doing it! 🚴
😋
Exactamente entre más larga de cadera menos velocidad lastima se veía muy bien el diseño ya después pues no 😂
Yes, congratulations 👌.
i think instead of around the large diameter of the wheel, perhaps a small set on the inside of the wheels rim and have the teeth inwards, probably badly explained.... i think google images internal gear pinion but its the large gear that moves and the pinion is the cassette
That's one of the most intriguing thumbnails I've ever seen. Couldn't not click.
Lol
I have reddit too, very cool.
I thought the wheels are magnetically levitating the bike frame
Couldn’tn’t
Hey redditor, I watch your vids a lot
That gearing ratio...gonna be a good workout on the legs!
Viceversa, i guess
It's gonna be really easy though. And it wont get you very fast
The weight from the rims would be massive too right? Acceleration momentum must feels like hell.
Maybe because the bike just isnt very efficient as the wheels add alot of friction to it /:
Yep
The other issue is bearing noise. The metal on metal sound of the wheel on the bearings. Also didn't see him shift gears or go off road. I imagine mud if ridden off-road is a issue too. Dirt don't do well going between smooth surfaces . But you designed a great show bike and conversation piece.
I was thinking along those lines too.
It's an off road bike but as soon as you go through any deep muddy puddles the bearings and drivetrain will be screwed.
"But you designed a great show and conversation piece"
What do you mean "but"? The guy posts every project on RUclips with no schematics, instructions, discussion of the build, etc. Every thing he creates, beginning to end, is for the sole purpose of show.
...and of course, the ongoing conversation between engineers and pseudo engineers.
True, not a very durable design. Just a rolling piece of engineering art. I can appreciate it for that.
The montage is more beautiful than the idea itself😂❤
All it needs now is LED's in the rims 👌
That thumnail gets everyone I guess
I don’t think you need those they are just optional stuff LEDs are not mandatory and I’ll just take up more power.
@@jaketheoctoling shut, non-gamer B)
And family
Never thought I'd see you here 😅
Bruh my man just made a manual Tron bike it's evolving!
Just backwards
@@esther.m3756 nah it's just slow
That was what I thought too. Little weird but a good start.
I was intrigued by this, because I was thinking of something similar for one of my projects.
At first I was concerned about the lack of brakes, but then noticed the brake disc on the intermediate layshaft / gear set, because after some thought, it was exactly where I expected to see it.
What I still can't work out is the attachment of the large rear sprocket wheel [ presumably another custom cut part ] to the rear wheel rim, and why that fat tyre doesn't rub against the chain, & push it off the sprocket.
Any ideas, or working hypotheses greatly appreciated.
You can see the rear part right here: 6:23
thats basically how we get a 'tronlegacy' style light cycle . nice one !
Need some neon lights and engine - and we have it DIY :)
Maybe someday there will be a electric bicycle like this!
@@Ash-br1pu It was already built ages ago...try to search for Tron light cycle...some small company which producing electric bikes made one...
Answering "I made this" to "Where did you buy this?" sounds like such a power move
Yea
@Lucas It definitely is.
Perks of DIY
He makes it look so easy and effortless I wonder how many shots and takes it took to actually get this thing working
Great creativity of this mechanic! I watched the reconstruction of this bike with great interest. The analyzes of the presented material show that only a specific rim is suitable for making a spokeless wheel. Its construction must be quite resistant to lateral and internal loads, because this is where the bearings are mounted. The total rolling resistance is higher than in the standard version. It is important that effective performance, congratulations, greetings 😀.
His cool experiments and the editing... Makes it a masterpiece.❤️
You couldn’t look at the thumbnail and not think “how in the Hell?” Also, the transitions and editing of this video are perhaps some of the most interesting I’ve seen
Front wheel is fine you can use bearings
Back wheel also fine but very inefficient imo cuz the circle that the chain goes around is way bigger than the gear at the pedals powering it
That’s what I thought when looking at the thumbnail
Oh I fell in love with this hubless cycle.
You're such a talented engineer and fabricator!
Bicycle bought by The Q: “ah, shit here we go again…”
We made potato electricity
Yeah and the people who have seen his other bikes, are also thinking: 'what the heck did this guy build again?' Or 'Dammit, here we go again 😁
@Hocine John solution: make it into an ebike instead.
Ah shiiiiiiiiiiit
Its it gta sa
That gear ratio though lol.
Dude was WORKING to get up to 10mph.
It can be improved by using multiple gear assembly like sun planet gear system coz it provides high gear ratio
That's what I thought. He's peddling very hard and getting nowhere fast
It would be same, just a little bit easier on regular bicycle on first gear. But yeah that's solid 30% more taxing ig.
Put a electic motor on it!
Ikr lol
This is insane! I love the hubless design!
I really enjoy reading all the people who say make comments about how this isn’t practical. What’s practical about most cool things on RUclips? Awesome creation!
Really appriciate your work man , the creativity of your ideas are on the next level, hats off to you 🙂🙂
At this point, hubs and spokes would be a nice improvement.
Would reduce weight too!
Good thinking man.
And brakes
@@JohannGambolputty22 to be fair, he still has a disc brake in the rear triangle, attached to his gearing.
Should weld the spokes to the blue discs so it looks like the wheels are not even turning.
You could also ditch the transfer chainring and additional oversize chain, moving the cassette to the rear hub. It would cut down on a lot of weight. Just a thought.
Not going to lie I felt physically ill when he was chopping up that beautiful bike. Everything turned out good though.
Idk what u will feel when u see howtobasic
Karen
@@pecfree shut up Jonathan
Me too, that and having a single brake linked via the chain!
It might be noisy and choppy and definitely a slow ride though.
Ура! Снова новая связка, и как всегда рабочая, спасибо, что стараетесь для нас!
Imagine being in your local park and seeing this masterpiece rolling around
Nice design without any practical benefits. This would be the first thing in my mind. The second, it's not even a nice design, just unusual. So it's good if you are an exhibitionist and not really interested in cycling.
@@dont6376 i wont
@@leventegaspar8388 Totally agree. This design introduces way too much friction thus lost pedalling energy and the gear ratio is way too inconvenient. Looks cool though
Bike: looking nice
Reality: •Slowness Experienced•
The lowest gearing one can experience
could be used as a cruiser bike or something like that
The annoying thing is he could’ve made it go faster but chose not to do the extra work which isnt much compared to all the other work.
I think this bike cannot endure. The weels' fixing seems too weak.
Everything else would be suicide as this bike has no brakes (at least I did not see any)
Thanks! Now I can see through my tires.
I would put a blue light ring around the tire for that extra TRON effect
Underrated
Some LED lights....
That would be cool tho
Is very futuristic look...way better than what's always been made since the 1970s.
TRON 😆

Very clever, good engineering skills and great video editing as well.
Ingenuity is how we move forward. I say 2 thumbs way up. The details can be worked out later. A HUGE SUCCESS!
This guy has bragging rights for imagination and construction skills.
This video is helpful, this video increases your knowledge, not just because this video is flexing the rights,
Be better i hope you have good day
@@nickafc3975 That is not what he's saying.
@@daringd3lta574 ok fine, i think i didnt understand sorry
To be honest everyone had the idea he just decided to be crazy enough to do it
@@nickafc3975 That's fine. So basically he is saying that his skills and imagination are so good that he can brag if he wants. He has the right to brag.
The engineer in me is screaming but the artist in me is applauding.
looks cool but he just ruined good bike.
Those Barrens in that rim that r welded in have to be cut out and it has to be re engineered to put them back in there basicly roller blade Barrens. They do eventually burn up and have to b replaced , And without the spokes the rim will eventually warp alot easyier maybe it will b slightly more ridged because the rims being wider but this bike will not be able to handle any serious bumping and jumping around or the rims r gonna warp its now basicly ment to be a beach cruiser bike and lightly used on flat smooth surfaces or for short rides its ultimately a huge fail..
So true. That looks like shit to ride
Well it also takes much more pedals to travel a distance than before.....cuz the circumference of back wheel is much larger than the peddling one.🙄
@@oldtunes817 not to mention he cut off all the gears so now he only has one gear and nothing to switch. Bro I always ride high gear and this would be hell because he's essentially riding low gear
Brakes left the chat💀
Very cool! Reminds me of a motorcycle I saw built like this a few years ago, great application to put it to a bicycle!
Back in 2005 billy lane had a chopper that he made hub less
The best way to go on a bike ride and bring your two hamsters with you.
Don't look down on zip-tying your hamsters to your spokes. They love it.
Haha
GOLD !
Lol
@@mohamedmurad961 lol
Engineering speaking, this is a mess, insane stress points, no brakes, insane gear ratios, absurd, chain tension, pivotal stress points
Aesthetically speaking: cool
He got disk brakes on the Chain but I think on the first real emergency break the chain would snap or bend under the extreme force
Also i dont think it can go faster than that
Agree, there's no actual improvement, and wheels should be quite sturdy. Although with some fiddling and experimenting i bet it can be done somewhat properly/reasonably well.
Didn't you just like. Explain engineering in a sense anyways? Everything has to be done before you can make it work. The gear ratios though. That was driving me nuts to be honest.
The bearings on the wheels will probably last about 3 minutes.
Wonderfull video. There are millions of content producers who need and should learn from you.
Nobody can stop you with the old stick in the spokes trick! :)
One step closer to Tron's light cycle!! Looks awesome!
I came here looking for this comment!
☆☆☆☆☆
Except not. He only shows 2 seconds of himself riding it because with this design that bike won't go over like 5 mph. When you remove the hub but then just make the whole wheel the hub, you haven't accomplished anything. In fact, you've made the bike impossibly slow.
Babe,it's already here!
The gear ratio is absolute shit & now you gotta use waaay more energy to ride it. Aesthetically tho it's fire 🔥
That’s what I thought. Looks cool but you can pretty much only ride slow now.
was looking if anyone else noticed and surely the world isnt completely dumb yet.
Is what I first noticed, and that back wheel looked like it would break when he jumped off the curf.
@@theronin Noisy too - but, WTF, looks like fun.
Good workout
Absolutely awesome! But seems you sacrifice a lot of speed doing this. And you increase the rolling resistance quite a lot to. But still looks awesome though!
I'm wondering if there's a way to do this without the negatives?
This is very impressive. I was wondering how you were going to fit the chain, then it became clear. Make a huge cog. Very clever! I bet it feels strange to ride, and easy to peddle 😂 top quality invention sir. It would look really cool to fit blue LEDs to the inside rim.👍🏻
I would be questioning the brakes but I can't imagine anyone is going to be riding that fast enough considering how terrible that gear ratio is to matter.
It looks like pulling the rear break will rip the chain tensioner off of the bike.
I also envision that there is far more friction involved.
I also have a doubt on suspension
What's this thing weigh? Looks like a tank, a cool tank though.
@Nobody
The spokes flex and act as suspension. This is why they don't use more rigid, forged solid piece wheels.
I've messed about with bikes, I've messed with angle grinders and I've messed with making videos. I am not worthy. The art and skill on display here is simply awe-inspiring!
Dude, this is amazing!
Someone give this person a prize for such a perfect invention
you should make a video showing people's reaction after seeing the hubless bike. great piece of engineering!
Just NO!
@@KMCDM yeah right, because you made the video huh
He and all the people will be shurely amazed when he is going down a cliff and searches for brakes :)
There is a brake you dumbo.
@@anderslarsen4024 Said brakes, not brake
there is a disk brake
@@anderslarsen4024 Why you so angry?
If you were going down a cliff, brakes would not help you!
As this might be a prototype for something with more engineering thought put into it. Stress points may be an issue. Also gear ratios may have to be more controlled as well. I like the idea. It has merit. I think you need to do some more constructions to get a final build. There are a lot of people that have give you some things to think about, but overall, I would buy it.
very cool! Thanks for sharing!
The Q’s editing skills are almost as good as his building skills, sheesh
who said he's editing himself? Some big youtubers let someone else edit videos, not for free :)
@@mlsterlous Nearly ALL big youtubers pay a video editor.

People: That's so cool I want one
An Engineer: so you down graded the bike?
Lmao exactly...first thing I thought was “he’s going the wrong way” lmao. Looks cool asf though.
Nah he did a good job
65,000 pedals just to get to the gate
Can you explain me how?
@@XIskandarX I don't know mechanics well but I would ask myself. How durable and resistant to break it is - you have high forces in one point. If someone more sturdy uses it might just break on the first curb. Chains are very tense and power transmission - you would need to calculate how energy efficient it is. Also, there is a loud music as background so you can hear how ball bearings act. Next, for me it's just to many parts - consider something breaks. I think there lots of other things that people who know mechanical engineering would point out. ( @always eatinpotatos is mentioning more in the comments in other thread)
tAnk you for this i will definetly be tryiñg this tonight👍👍👍👍
how difficult would it be to change flat tire with this design and how good it handles ruff terrain ?
The one drawback is he can’t put a card in the spokes to make “motorcycle sounds” 😂
🙄😂😂😂😂😂
Its electric
🤣🤣
Khacovvv
Yo where r u frm
Best part about this bike is -
You Don't need Brakes, as you are already moving very slow..🙂
At least people will hear you coming from a distance with that bike.
@@Phoenixrises113 Pedestrians warned by the yelling of anyone riding this bike....
I did notice he was doing a lot of peddling for very little gain in speed.
He just need to put on gearing and brakes on the wheels, and he's good to go!
😂
your idea is amazing brother... this is an inspiration that I will practice. Warm greetings, healthy success, always from Indonesia .stay good your ide anything else about bycicle else
Great work !! just a question, how do you break with this system??
I’m no engineer, but just watching him try to pedal through those gear ratios and all that contact resistance was exhausting. The good ole ball-bearing hub axle concept hasn’t been around for these many years by accident. But I do salute his creativity and initiative.
Like special Olympics of DIY. Good effort.
Yep,
Not to mention that the chain will collect much dirt on the back tyre,
.. and road bumps and cracks can quickly break off the wheels from this joint.
The ball bearing in the very center turn much slower than it does in this example. Just calculating the circumference of the circle ( 2 x pi x r ) gives you an idea of the difference. The man is very good and creative. Would love to see a magnetic version of it, without ball bearing.
Is it really creative tho? This type of wheel Is not original and is a very old invention.
@@AB-dz4yb It takes creativity to actually pull off a concept and get all the little mechanical details to work.
The fact that the chain has to go around the whole tire is a terrible idea because it takes more effort to complete a full circle, just look how fast he peddles and how slow he goes. you need smaller gears so it makes the tire spin more per pedal. With this design it takes multiple pedals to complete a cycle
Looks cool though
He needs to add a small axis on the side rim of the wheel and attach the chain to it but I guess it seemed too complicated at the time.
and this video fragment where he's driving is even speeded up, look at the people on background xD
@@tripylsd?? He installed the calipers at 5:32.
Dont be a hater bro 😎
or he could just make it an e-bike and boom, no effort and loads of power
Can we get a part 2 with a motor installed? So cool. Great work.
Diminuiu o potencial da bike gênio!
I remember when this guy started making stuff out of cardboard… and now he’s made the coolest bike I’ve seen in a while…
Cool but not very practical.
Look aren't everything! =)
And the most useless
@@oldschoolman1444 In this case it kinda is, this is just a cruiser bike to take out on a nice day, I doubt anybody would use this as a commuter bike.
I think it's more insane, that you showed us how to build one too! Awesome video editing, very capturing
Mate you’ve blown my mind! It’s like RUclips read my mind while I was going down the rabbit hole of ebikes and the current designs of hub motors. Now that I’ve seen this video I’m like why the hell don’t we have a bunch of bikes of this design flooding the markets!! Just put a mid drive motor on it and you’ve got the sexiest ebike in the world!! Gahh!! Bloody good work mate! Keep it up!
So what fascinated me the most by this build is that huge sprocket on the rear wheel. Could that be modified to fit the rim of a regular tire? Like in addition to its regular gears. Because with the right gear ratio and an ac generator, that would make an excellent restorative charging system for e-bikes, to utilize some of the momentum of the bike or energy spent peddling, to help recharge some of the battery reserves. Obviously its not free energy, as the generator will be taking energy from the over all system of the movement. But if your were able to engage and disengage it as needed, you could utilize coasting down hills as a way to get a quick recharge as needed. Or opt to peddle a bit harder to charge the battery, while you still aren't tired, so you could take a break later. But with the right gear ratio, like this one, I don't think it would take a significant amount of effort to gain back some charge.
When simplicity and functionality just isn't enough.
And basic safety. If the chain slips of or rips you got no brakes
@@BrosBrothersLP The gear ratio is a built-in safety feature, you can't go fast enough for the lack of brakes to be an actual problem.
@@BrosBrothersLP *slips off
@@BrosBrothersLP
Most bikes in the Netherlands have pedal braking though... Aka it's on the chain.
@@yipperdeyip one of the brakes you should allways have two anyway and the bikes kn the netherlands still have a front wheel brake
He did this so the Bullies can no longer put a twig In his spokes. It now requires a team of bullies and a large tree to stop him
@Joshua9875 Gaming Liquid wheels.
😆
Nice brakes! ;-)
I suspect the friction in the system probably serves as self-braking.
As a satellite engineer who does occasional recreational bicycle engineering, I do enjoy your projects.
congrats on adding friction to the best energy for work engine mankind has created.
Way cool. There should be a market for this.
looks great. functionally, good for building muscles and endurance I would imagine (if you ride long enough). Once u get used to the weirdness of it compare to a conventional bike.
edit: this is mainly to point out the pros without hitting the con straight on the nose as respect to the amount work put in. The guy only had the gears, chain/pedal gear and cassette/cog from a normal bike to work with. Otherwise I would imagine he can make a bike with much better gear ratio and maybe even ability to change gear, depends on resources and design. (for those curious, hub is just the round pipe thing at center of the gear circle/wheel. In this version, the hub is moved and is no longer spin in a 1:1 ratio to the wheel (conventional bike). So it is hubless if you just focus on the wheel, but still has a hub over all, it just moved to elsewhere.
Imagine actually having everything you need tho
Well yea its a bike
I mean I'm pretty sure that's why normal bikes exist as well
bro, add some commercial advertising on the side of wheel.
@@HardWayback that's not the point. compare to a typical conventional bike, if you look at the physics of it, the gears etc. compare same force applied with a typical bike, with this bike you either 1) would going A LOT slower or 2) have to modify it and use A LOT more force to get the same speed. Looks cool tho.
Imagine your dad make this for you and you bring it to school, that's probably the coolest bike there haha
Coolest, but slowest
I wasn't a little angel, but my father still wouldn't want to kill me. There is no brakes.
@@user1_1_1 I agree, it's a bit impractical. The back wheel needs a bit of reinventing.
Riding this cool bike to school is a huge mistake 😂
For those who are saying it lacks brakes, there is a disc brake on the large sprocket.
Wow im so amaze how you edit your video and your invention idea amazing...
Amazing build
Next: put an electric motor on the bike and cover both sides of the chassis. Then put some neon lights on the bike and there you go, you have a DIY mini tron bike.

@@Vetrivel.Shanmugam true, easier said than done😅
@@Vetrivel.Shanmugam not everyone has the money 🙃
I knew I would find TRON fans on this.
@@nshctt333 not really a tron fan, but i just like the look of the bikes and the neons.
The mechanical stress at the point where the wheels attach to the main frame would be very high. It is most likely unsafe as the welds may easily break upon breaking moderately hard or while riding over rough terrain. But aesthetically this looks great.
Breaking system don't afford. This is riding problem 🤔
That's what I was thinking.
I can see tons of crap getting into the chain and gumming up the system.
looks unstable overall. And what about that big gear on the back wheel. Where does he get that? Video is kinda fake as not all steps explained.
its insane alright
Cool design, you did a great job at making it look like an actual bike made by a bike manufacturer and not some Frankenstein creation.
Introduction to an intensely intriguing, imaginative and innovative idea....👌👌👍👍
That wont last long with the sheer forces on those rim bearings - makes you realise how perfect the central hubbed wheel really is with its perfectly balanced center
Not to mention all that noise indicating that a lot o energy is being wasted.
Just wait until the rim surface contacting the bearings gets even a little dirty. No more rolling. Just horrible noise. Bad design. Maybe better if it were sealed, but still very inefficient. Center hub is perfection.
@@rexrufer - You are a nut. It's just about the uniqueness of it. I doubt he was going for practicality.
@@jonhohensee3258 i agree. He made it for the look. It is not intended to be used more than for an occasional parade.
Agreed..
And.. It is only me who can't see any break application???

Super slow
Glad I wasn't wasn't the only one to notice
Yup cool look not very practical
he knows it too, but he just demonstrated a cool looking bike.
It’s because he is in a high gear. It’s not reverted to a single gear bike.
My goodness, what a cool bike you have there.😎😎😎
Such an Exquisite idea, even more Exquisite if ya managed to put a motor in to so it can be an electric bike very Stylish as well 😎
Through this bike, you can actually probably make a tiny compartment inside the tires, not revolutionary, but it's something!
Actually, the compartment would be revolutionary
nah it will be very rotationary
@@narunjoe9077 🤣
The object inside should not be delicate or else it will break and it also should not be heavy, because it will spoil the flow of cycling.
Yes, that compartment can be used to store battery and turn the bicycle in to ebike.
Imagine it with a ebike engine = Tron.
An ebike like that actually exists...go and search hubless e bike..
😂👌
Really outstanding work.
Honestly, I _did not_ expect such a thin pair of steel plates to be able to keep the pressure.
I've found this because I'm currently contemplating building one myself - and my idea was more along the lines of a thick aluminium plate which doubles as a gear in the inner wheel.
Have you found any unexpected issues over the years of use?
imagine doing a drone shot through the wheel while in a trail
Through wheels
That's amazing🤩
This needs to happen @Q
I love your thinking
@Tyler Ipac I was thinking the exact same thing!
I saw someone do that with a drone flying through the frame of a BMX bike. It was really quite epic. Now how about attaching a camera to the inside of the rim lens pointing at the phantom hub?
Those guys in park: Hey, a timetraveller is riding a bicycle.
😂
Thats exactly right and yu should use this video as 2091 time traveller in that park it will freak viewers and get likes
That's exactly what I would have said, that and WTF??!!!!
Indeed
A time traveler coming straight back from the times of "Idiocracy" maybe.
Due to my obsession to your wonderful idea or experiment youve shared i will try this to my own m.c
Sir you earned yourself a subscription, people debate over gear ratios etc the question i have is how much to plasma cut custom parts needed for the build and other parts can be used to improve design to make it fast and cool possibly electric with motorcycle sprocket thick rear wheel sprocket same design on the rear wheel and custom driving sprocket (where you peddle from) to adapt to the thickness, cut slits 1/4 throughout the design with reinforcement to prevent warping keep strength possibly make it stronger (washers but custom made out of thicker stronger material) to keep strength with a foggy plexi glass inserts in the 1/4 in slits and led behind the plexi that changes color piggybacked on the electric idea you sir got a tron bicycle and sign me up! if you make one send me one for the extra ideas, take it to car/bike shows and you will rule the streets with a bicycle.
I would like to see people's reactions when they see you bike.
And reaction on one speed ;)
My first reaction would be "why is he peddling so fast?"
Connect a smaller gear to your rear wheel gear. The chains can link up to the smaller gear and make it theoretically more efficient.
Oh, okay! That's how you take the chain off
What are the advantages over the conventional wheels? Is it low cost to own and maintain, is it energy efficient or more comfortable?
Nothing like reinventing the wheel, you would certainly hear this bike coming down the street.
