    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.

    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.

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..

    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.

    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

    This video has given me plenty of insight on hubless vehicles. There are plenty of flaws in the idea, that are not present in regular bikes, which makes this idea hard to justify in real life. Sure, the build is fantastic and manages to address most of the issues inherent in the hubless bike idea, but those are still workarounds specific to this build. The most jarring issue for me would be the fact that there is one less mechanism shielding the rider and the components, which are more numerous and more fragile, from shocks in the ground, which was mitigated by using a fat wheeled bike, whose tyres absorb much more impact than other bikes. Second off is the effective removal of an entire axle from the drivetrain, which messed up the force multipliers involved. The bike is painfully slow, and while I can bet it is a breeze to climb up hills with, you aren't likely to get much speed out of it. This bike wouldn't have functioned at all without that second gear he added at the end, and in his final demonstration you can notice he had to speed up the footage to appear to move at regular speed. Basically, it is a really cool vanity build, but not really practical.

    • @eekee6034
      @eekee6034 3 года назад +8

      Good point about the shocks and fat tyres. As I'm just starting to think of such a build, I needed to know that. Thanks.
      Gears I already know; you're quite right, and thanks for pointing out the sped up footage. I'll have it a bit easier. I'm planning a reclining vehicle which will give me more room to sort out the ratios. Hublessness will still limit the space for gearing, but I'll have about a meter or so of length to play with.

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.
