I was surfing the net looking at wheels and came across this website. Hubless wheels. Check out the video they have. I've seen photos of hubless wheels before but never saw a bike in motion with then on. It looks like the bike is just sliding along. Pretty cool.

That's different... & way cool!

 

Yeah I thought so too. Wonder how long it'll be before we start seeing bikes with those wheels on the street.

 

these and others been around yrs...

 

Billy Lane pioneered the hubless wheel with his "Psycho Billy Cadillac" Chopper years ago, everything after that is just imitation.

 

Sbarro did it 25 years ago, Lane copied him!

 

I know they've been around a while...didn't realize it was 25 years though. Wonder why we haven't seen more of them around.

 

It would seem this design would make it fairly simple to build a bike with front, or two wheel drive. I notice the front end has no suspension - just solid tubes.

 

Amen Choppers has a REAL problem with your statement........they hate each other and each claims they were the first to engineer the "hubless" wheel.......jus' sayin'

 

Oh puhleeeeze.
