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.

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. - X

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

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: http://www.choppersinc.com/html/bike...ikeID=3&Page=2

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. |
