Pretty cool...

Apex Paul · 03-24-2010, 05:22 PM

cool. I hope it doesn't catch on... because then it goes from cool to "hey, look at that chopper made in 2010". It's like the color Teal from 1995.

Fenah · 03-24-2010, 07:42 PM

Its cool, but man its ugly.

Xanthos · 03-24-2010, 08:03 PM

I wonder how it works? Brakes and everything?

Seems like a cool thing, but I can't figure out how you would get things like the brakes to work effectively. Don't know if I'd feel safe riding one.

This looks like it was inspired by Tron 2.0's lightcycle. More recently Tron Legacy.

d69chris · 03-24-2010, 09:07 PM

I like it.

Like others I wonder how brakes & suspension work?

*DGthe3* · 03-25-2010, 12:25 AM

Hubless bikes have been around for years. I think that design may actually be the first one ... from 2004 (link). I suspect that the brakes are some sort of variation on drum brakes, front suspension looks somewhat conventional and I bet the forks flex a fair bit. Rear, well its probably a rigid.

I just found an even older bike:

Yep, Billy Lane pioneered the concept on bikes a few years back. You look
hard enough on youtube, you'll even find him explaining how his work.
