Remarkableriots Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 mimicking the mechanics of a tank, engineer builds custom 'wheelless' bike WWW.DESIGNBOOM.COM Quote Departing from the traditional circular wheels, he selected linear metal components adorned with chains. He then clothed them with rubber treads resembling the wheel belts found on tanks. To enable the pedals to drive the belt system, Sergii introduced an additional gear, connecting the pedals to the apex of the rear wheel. For stability, the wheels were securely affixed at two points, ensuring they maintained their angular orientation while riding the bicycle.

Nokra Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 That's a lot of pedaling for not going very fast, not to mention the lack of shock absorption. Still, I like that he's thinking and innovating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CayceG Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 So instead of one chain there are two. And instead of two tires with a small contact area to the ground there are rubber treads with huge contact area. Instead of an efficient energy to speed gearing with a normal bike he has this slower-than-walking contraption. I fucking hate "engineering" videos like this. Innovation isn't taking something and making it more shit. This is an idiotic waste of material and effort for no benefit other than "look what I did!" He made something stupid. That's what. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputator Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 That's pretty terrible in every way. And for icing on the cake it sounds like he's dragging metal against the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
