Nothing to see here folks, only a guy with some graphic skills and no understanding of physics. Hubless wheels mean it is not a working prototype.

Instead of being positive some people are just venting their frustration and inability of doing something or creating something. Instead of hammering people who are creative and who reach a result, do something on your own, put it on the web and then we are talking. have a cool day I think it is great but I am amazed at all the negative comments.

Otherwise it loooks awesome. The best improvement to the design would be a gyro sensor that would automatically kick the bike into battery recharge mode when going downhill..

I prototyped a hubless full suspension back in 2004. The engineering development costs for the drive and rim race are intimidating. I'm still waiting for a ridable model.

I'd really like to see how you change a flat...Still not sure its a good idea to watch TV while riding your space bike. Fun to look at!

However, upon looking at the details of the pictures, this is only an expertly crafted CGI (I can tell by the designs plus the iPhone was the real bait that got me noticing). Nonetheless, I would love to see the physical concept model in action. This is a fantastic concept.
