literally nothing new
-
its ugly as fuck
-
1500w trike?(one on each wheel) Now that would be a glorious glitterbomb of glory
-
kick starter bait,nothing new here any engineer would tell him it would work better the losses are too high
-
4:18 Dat wobble.
-
beatifull and espensive.

I'm loving that buckle the rim has when you see it up close. This is just nothing but another fucking cheap gimmick to trick retards into giving them their money. Buy the right electric bike, or do an actual conversion. This and the Copenhagen wheel is about 8 years too late to offer anything worth having.
-
Splendid.
-
What you did is invent a wheel with more moving parts, maybe I am ignorant, but I don't see the advantage over a normal wheel.
-
soooo.... extra friction due to 3 support points?
-
How often do you change the tire? Or buy the whole thing again? @geoorbital

I LOVE Brilliance, so I LOVED this ! ! !
-
Why reinvent the wheel when it's already made? 😏
-
What if it goes out of true ? Like it is in the last image of the video. There's no spokes you can adjust to true it. How do you fix it without replacing the wheel or anything costly ???
-
I think its a stupid design.
-
Putting the mechanics on the INSIDE of a wheel, doesn't that create a lot of stress on the rollers?
-
ótimo! projeto excelente!!

You bot

What ever you do, DO NOT hit a pothole with this tire. It will deform and destroy itself in a heart beat. Look at the clip at the end of the video - the rim is trashed. The most hilarious part was when the guy commented on how surprised he was that the wheel performed above expectation when the guy did a wheelie and it didn't do any damage. Duh, why would it? It's almost impossible to damage a wheel doing wheelie unless of course you dropped it right into a big pot hole at high speed. This thing is a joke.
