Moreover, you cannot use it on grass, pebbles will more than likely derail the chains, a multitude of issues with this mode of transportation 😮😮. Not to mention rain/snow will rust everything up 😕😞😕😕😕 but, I give him a 10 for creativity ❤❤❤😅😅😅
Its so good for people who have limited space for cycling. More efforts, less distance covered. The art of feeling like going somewhere without actually going anywhere.
Or hear me out. He's showing the fact that you can have a wheel free cycle lol. And the fact that he can actually build 1, which is actually impressive. Aside from the noise, it was pretty cool.
Like the headline said... "Why did we do it? Just for fun." Thoughts become things, it's all part of invention. Would I do this? No! But I say "Way to go for trying something new!" Without trying, creativity would come to a stand still. I support the individuals that try.
@@MidnighterClub 30 to 40 years ago an Asian engineer designed a triangle wheeled bike, with rubber tires, and a mechanism to counter the up and down action that would occur with triangular wheels. It was a hoot, and was featured in some magazine, at the time. I even think the seat accounted for the up and down action, too. Totally ridiculous, but very clever.
Yes!!! Something like four separate wheels. Two on legs and two which you can hold in your hands. And with humans travelling like four legged creatures, it'll be a great revolution in the history of transportation. 😂😂😂😂
I think yours is one of the most sincere advices out there for this gentleman. The dude has it but he needs to understand there is no need to reinvent the wheel, just build upon it.
The whole video was amusing, but when he started peddling, I broke in tears of laughter. This is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Thanks guys.
Novel, clever and very well done. 👍 However, I am reminded of the English inventor Hengist Pod, from the film Carry on Cleo, and his square-wheeled bicycle. 😀 But again, well done for building such a crazy thing.
The fact that you had this idea, planned how to execute it, used materials to accomplish it, and took the time to record, edit, narrate and present the process to the world is mind boggling. Woe internet... Woe.
Way to go man. Really answered a lot of prayers with this one. I can't tell you how many times I've heard someone say "I like riding bikes, I just wish it was way more difficult. Also it be great if the bike moved slower and louder."
Pretty sure he is well aware it's a prototype that he believes is moving the innovation along down the road to something faster and made of quieter material.
Hey, I would love to see this contraption on the slickrock around Moab Utah. It might go some places a regular mountain bike can't traverse. But have some EMTs nearby just in case. Great imagination on this dudes part I must say.
But wouldn't you just be better on foot there? Since this thing is slower than walking on slickrocks and just much more difficult and much more dangerous.
Imagine improving the mechanism for reduced friction and add some kind of pivot suspension and even electric motors in both “wheels?”. Since balancing seems easier at slower speeds could be a self driven bike AI powered… Thumbs up for creating, it’s beautiful, the “discouraging” comments are just for fun. 😂 I wish I was a millionaire to fund the project and invest just to see few iterations 😅 … the limitation of foldable bikes is the wheel size, this would probably solve it.
Wow, half as fast as walking, twenty times the effort, a thousandth the mobility, extremely loud and heavy, mechanically complex with myriad fragile parts to fail. Why didn't I think of this? Clearly an improvement over the current arrangement involving wheels, a triumph of human ingenuity!
The fact that this wasn’t a complete fake video with a fake thumbnail really shocked me lol this guy deserves all the success and views for this especially all the work he put into it
Correct, it invited a lot more issue than standard wheels do. Flatten them out, and add an electric motor. Boom, it's a Land Ski, reimmagined for the today crowd.
@@caiusmadison2996they built something like that. I thought that's what this was going to be. The bike has square or rectangle wheels and rides on tracks. To me these are redundant. Engineering ingenuity but the end result is more effort for little reward [peddling the bike & distance achieved] vs a round wheel.
I'm really surprised at all the negative comments on this one. A big part of inventing is having an interesting idea and then trying it out. Not every effort is going to result in the greatest innovation of all time, but all these cumulative efforts of tinkering and trying and learning and sharing and inspiring may end up doing exactly that. A completely sincere "thank you" and "hats off" to this effort!
The comments are my thoughts also. At least the funny sarcastic one are. But I do agree with you that every new invention only opens the door to more creativity
Ive ridden dozens of bikes and not one has been this precarious and sketchy, turning on that doesn't look comfortable at all. if this was a commercial product, where are you gonna get replacement treads? from the manufacturer? the markup and delay compared to a traditional tried and tested bike is just not it. thought I think that this idea is inherently well executed just not something I'd ride for longer than 30 seconds just for the experience
@@malus1426 Not at all! I see a lot of honest opinions here that are framed as constructive criticism, and I have no problem with that, that's an important part of the learning and sharing process. But some are downright disparaging, and those are the ones that seem to be missing the spirit of the creative and innovative process. People can share honest opinions about how something turned out without tearing down the very important process of experimenting with new ideas in the first place.
I’ve always enjoyed weirding people out, but without creeping them out. This is the perfect invention for wholesome weirdness, that confuses without really being off-putting. Plus it deserves all the views and comments and hopefully can be monetized. Salute.
No. For real, this kind of hard bicycle is actually gonna sell well if it's for different market. Sell it under the fitness category. Make the seat bigger for the fat people. And also the "wheels".
This is the most unintentionally funny video I’ve ever seen, I doubled over laughing for 5 minutes straight as I imagined myself rolling up to a party in this. 😂 Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Thank you for making this.
I was so enthralled by the concept and process of it all that I didnt think about what makes bikes good for Going. The ending just about killed me. Please never stop doing whatever the hell this is.
Maybe 'Tweaking popular gadgets for maximum inefficiency and inspiration'. I see an inverted mobile treadmill, which actually gets you somewhere - at least around the next corner. What else can you ask for?
Yeah, I tot it’s gonna go multi terrain, or go up stairs , anyway his work is great and I hope he could modify it to be more useful if not more efficient.
In my language there is a phrase: “inventing the bike,” which means to creating something that already exists. I never thought I would use it so literally
From a distance it looks like it is being dragged across the ground scraping metal. Up close it sounds like it is being dragged across the ground scraping metal. Definitely a cool build!
You found something with more ground pressure than an actual wheel while also not having any of the benefits of a tracked design. Impressive in its own way.
Nobody is winning any races with this tank like angled track design, but it is neat. Mount the tracks flat, instead of at a steep angle, and it might just go through snow well.
@@williamthornton5856 Yeah! And make the ends a litte bit curved on the bottom so it will go over a obsyacle, plus they need to be able to rotate so that it can conform to the terrain. This might be genuinely fun then😂
жду с нетерпением тест-драйв проезда по гравийным и грунтовым дорожкам , пересечения трамвайных рельс и бордюров, а так же езду по брусчатке и в горку)
Hahaha I suspect if you rolled up, one 'a' two things gonna happen: She's gonna see and identify you, look sideways and keep walking. Or... She's gonna hop on that bad boy with you, and ride or die. But hey... just my opinion, like an arsehole. ;) Everyone's got one.
Actually, without "wheels" this wouldn't even work, as the internal "wheels" or wheels iwth spikes on them called gears that grab the chain are still round! My vote this is dumb point O!
This was great. Ridiculous concept excellently executed. Safety third approach of welding in jorts and the implication that it worked perfectly the first time bolting it together. Also +10 for no voice over.
They were so interested in proving that they could, they didn't stop to think whether they should. Nevertheless, it's cool that it operates even if it's slow and loud. There's something very comendable about seeing an idea through to completion, especially if it's absurd. Well done.
"Got it to work" as long as it's cycled on perfectly smooth asphalt, in a straight line, while encountering no pebbles or debris. It's the whole "spherical chickens in a vacuum" thing, with extra steps.
You bet it worked! 14 million views - this build&vid produced incomes in the hundreds of thousands. Not bad for a horribly stupid idea done with exacting metalworker skills.
That’s what I thought too!! Like the Honda Fat Cat…. all the bad things of a dirt bike combined with all the horrible things of ATV balloon tires or the Honda trike with balloon tires that every teenager barrel rolled.
A triangular track instead of rectangular would work better for the bike. This way the track would have more surface to the ground and might actually work or grass/dirt.
Come on people. Why is everyone trolling him. Not thet he is launching it in market. He just made is for fun and at least he is doing what he wants instead of lying on couch and trolling others on internet.
If you notice as he's riding his bike in the park no one is around. That's because you can hear it two or three miles away. so just imagine how loud it sounds up close and in person!
I give this man respect for going out of his way to create something that is pretty interesting 🤔 but I would most definitely not be able to deal with that sound I will take my wheels any day 😁
Frankly, you should lay down the tracks on the ground, increase the contact area. Then you would have a tracked bicycle that could go over soft ground, sand, mud etc. That would not have been so entirely useless. Also you might consider changing the drive gear ratios.
Yeah, I didn't understand why he didn't try to do something like that, it would have took a bit more engineering and extra cogs belts etc but it would've been much more interesting and even a little practical unlike this contraption eh!,lol 🤣
@@arina9153 You're wrong though. You just bend the tracks slightly, that the ends have less pressure, and make the front track shorter, and it will turn just fine.
From an engineering standpoint, he should have built the frame for the tracks in the shape of a triangle, which would allow for more traction and increased speed, but hey nice job regardless.
