The problem with this design is that you reach your destination more slowly due to the increased quantity of people asking what you're riding!

That's one of the most intriguing thumbnails I've ever seen. Couldn't not click.

What would look really cool is if you now fitted non-functional spokes to the hubs, so it looked like you were moving on stationary wheels!

The only problem with this design is that because you wrapped the chain around the wheel well, the gear ratio is much larger, so you gain less distance when you petal. You would spend alot more energy riding this bike than any other bike. Other than that, the design is really futuristic, it gives me a Tron vibe. Great work.

That gearing ratio...gonna be a good workout on the legs!

As a bike mechanic I am both genuinely impressed and just a little horrified. Beautiful work!

The other issue is bearing noise. The metal on metal sound of the wheel on the bearings. Also didn't see him shift gears or go off road. I imagine mud if ridden off-road is a issue too. Dirt don't do well going between smooth surfaces . But you designed a great show bike and conversation piece.

The montage is more beautiful than the idea itself😂❤

All it needs now is LED's in the rims 👌

thats basically how we get a 'tronlegacy' style light cycle . nice one !

I was intrigued by this, because I was thinking of something similar for one of my projects. At first I was concerned about the lack of brakes, but then noticed the brake disc on the intermediate layshaft / gear set, because after some thought, it was exactly where I expected to see it. What I still can't work out is the attachment of the large rear sprocket wheel [ presumably another custom cut part ] to the rear wheel rim, and why that fat tyre doesn't rub against the chain, & push it off the sprocket. Any ideas, or working hypotheses greatly appreciated.

Bruh my man just made a manual Tron bike it's evolving!

That gear ratio though lol. Dude was WORKING to get up to 10mph.

Great creativity of this mechanic! I watched the reconstruction of this bike with great interest. The analyzes of the presented material show that only a specific rim is suitable for making a spokeless wheel. Its construction must be quite resistant to lateral and internal loads, because this is where the bearings are mounted. The total rolling resistance is higher than in the standard version. It is important that effective performance, congratulations, greetings 😀.

Oh I fell in love with this hubless cycle.

I would put a blue light ring around the tire for that extra TRON effect

Engineering speaking, this is a mess, insane stress points, no brakes, insane gear ratios, absurd, chain tension, pivotal stress points Aesthetically speaking: cool

I really enjoy reading all the people who say make comments about how this isn’t practical. What’s practical about most cool things on RU-vid? Awesome creation!

He makes it look so easy and effortless I wonder how many shots and takes it took to actually get this thing working

At this point, hubs and spokes would be a nice improvement.

I would be questioning the brakes but I can't imagine anyone is going to be riding that fast enough considering how terrible that gear ratio is to matter.

Thanks! Now I can see through my tires.

You're such a talented engineer and fabricator!

Really appriciate your work man , the creativity of your ideas are on the next level, hats off to you 🙂🙂

Answering "I made this" to "Where did you buy this?" sounds like such a power move

The fact that the chain has to go around the whole tire is a terrible idea because it takes more effort to complete a full circle, just look how fast he peddles and how slow he goes. you need smaller gears so it makes the tire spin more per pedal. With this design it takes multiple pedals to complete a cycle Looks cool though

Ingenuity is how we move forward. I say 2 thumbs way up. The details can be worked out later. A HUGE SUCCESS!

This is insane! I love the hubless design!

You couldn’t look at the thumbnail and not think “how in the Hell?” Also, the transitions and editing of this video are perhaps some of the most interesting I’ve seen

Bike: looking nice Reality: •Slowness Experienced•

Someone give this person a prize for such a perfect invention

His cool experiments and the editing... Makes it a masterpiece.❤️

Bicycle bought by The Q: “ah, shit here we go again…”

Very clever, good engineering skills and great video editing as well.

The gear ratio is absolute shit & now you gotta use waaay more energy to ride it. Aesthetically tho it's fire 🔥

looks great. functionally, good for building muscles and endurance I would imagine (if you ride long enough). Once u get used to the weirdness of it compare to a conventional bike. edit: this is mainly to point out the pros without hitting the con straight on the nose as respect to the amount work put in. The guy only had the gears, chain/pedal gear and cassette/cog from a normal bike to work with. Otherwise I would imagine he can make a bike with much better gear ratio and maybe even ability to change gear, depends on resources and design. (for those curious, hub is just the round pipe thing at center of the gear circle/wheel. In this version, the hub is moved and is no longer spin in a 1:1 ratio to the wheel (conventional bike). So it is hubless if you just focus on the wheel, but still has a hub over all, it just moved to elsewhere.

Wonderfull video. There are millions of content producers who need and should learn from you.

tAnk you for this i will definetly be tryiñg this tonight👍👍👍👍

Best part about this bike is - You Don't need Brakes, as you are already moving very slow..🙂

"im gonna throw a stick in your wheel" you cant hurt me nomore

Ура! Снова новая связка, и как всегда рабочая, спасибо, что стараетесь для нас!

Wow im so amaze how you edit your video and your invention idea amazing...

One step closer to Tron's light cycle!! Looks awesome!

I've messed about with bikes, I've messed with angle grinders and I've messed with making videos. I am not worthy. The art and skill on display here is simply awe-inspiring!

As this might be a prototype for something with more engineering thought put into it. Stress points may be an issue. Also gear ratios may have to be more controlled as well. I like the idea. It has merit. I think you need to do some more constructions to get a final build. There are a lot of people that have give you some things to think about, but overall, I would buy it.

This is very impressive. I was wondering how you were going to fit the chain, then it became clear. Make a huge cog. Very clever! I bet it feels strange to ride, and easy to peddle 😂 top quality invention sir. It would look really cool to fit blue LEDs to the inside rim.👍🏻

The mechanical stress at the point where the wheels attach to the main frame would be very high. It is most likely unsafe as the welds may easily break upon breaking moderately hard or while riding over rough terrain. But aesthetically this looks great.

Imagine being in your local park and seeing this masterpiece rolling around

congrats on adding friction to the best energy for work engine mankind has created.

Very cool! Reminds me of a motorcycle I saw built like this a few years ago, great application to put it to a bicycle!

This guy has bragging rights for imagination and construction skills.

Not going to lie I felt physically ill when he was chopping up that beautiful bike. Everything turned out good though.

Brakes left the chat💀

Dude, this is amazing!

The engineer in me is screaming but the artist in me is applauding.

People: That's so cool I want one An Engineer: so you down graded the bike?

Amazing build

Due to my obsession to your wonderful idea or experiment youve shared i will try this to my own m.c

When simplicity and functionality just isn't enough.

Through this bike, you can actually probably make a tiny compartment inside the tires, not revolutionary, but it's something!

this is a mind blowing invention

So what fascinated me the most by this build is that huge sprocket on the rear wheel. Could that be modified to fit the rim of a regular tire? Like in addition to its regular gears. Because with the right gear ratio and an ac generator, that would make an excellent restorative charging system for e-bikes, to utilize some of the momentum of the bike or energy spent peddling, to help recharge some of the battery reserves. Obviously its not free energy, as the generator will be taking energy from the over all system of the movement. But if your were able to engage and disengage it as needed, you could utilize coasting down hills as a way to get a quick recharge as needed. Or opt to peddle a bit harder to charge the battery, while you still aren't tired, so you could take a break later. But with the right gear ratio, like this one, I don't think it would take a significant amount of effort to gain back some charge.

The Q’s editing skills are almost as good as his building skills, sheesh

The best way to go on a bike ride and bring your two hamsters with you.

The best design that i h never seen ❤

Such an Exquisite idea, even more Exquisite if ya managed to put a motor in to so it can be an electric bike very Stylish as well 😎

That wont last long with the sheer forces on those rim bearings - makes you realise how perfect the central hubbed wheel really is with its perfectly balanced center

He and all the people will be shurely amazed when he is going down a cliff and searches for brakes :)

Really outstanding work.

With better bearings you could eliminate the bearings roller noise and work some modifications you could really come up with some come cool gear ratios for this bike !!!

I’m no engineer, but just watching him try to pedal through those gear ratios and all that contact resistance was exhausting. The good ole ball-bearing hub axle concept hasn’t been around for these many years by accident. But I do salute his creativity and initiative.

Way cool. There should be a market for this.

I would like to see a part 2 of this and how it could be made more efficient.

Great customer service!

Can we get a part 2 with a motor installed? So cool. Great work.

Oh, okay! That's how you take the chain off

The amount of energy he is putting on peddling is just too much

Nice brakes! ;-) I suspect the friction in the system probably serves as self-braking. As a satellite engineer who does occasional recreational bicycle engineering, I do enjoy your projects.

Cool design, you did a great job at making it look like an actual bike made by a bike manufacturer and not some Frankenstein creation.

Imagine it with a ebike engine = Tron.

How much power do you want to lose compared to a regular bike? The Q: Yes.

only real riders appreciate this guys work to make a thought possile. Thats what its about!

Diminuiu o potencial da bike gênio!

Next: put an electric motor on the bike and cover both sides of the chassis. Then put some neon lights on the bike and there you go, you have a DIY mini tron bike.

The one drawback is he can’t put a card in the spokes to make “motorcycle sounds” 😂

your idea is amazing brother... this is an inspiration that I will practice. Warm greetings, healthy success, always from Indonesia .stay good your ide anything else about bycicle else

Introduction to an intensely intriguing, imaginative and innovative idea....👌👌👍👍

I remember when this guy started making stuff out of cardboard… and now he’s made the coolest bike I’ve seen in a while…

He did this so the Bullies can no longer put a twig In his spokes. It now requires a team of bullies and a large tree to stop him

I like very much your idea and I would like to see this technique to be used on big power motorcycles.

Great innovation, creativity and ingenuity ! 10 out of 10 !! This is an excellent example of lateral thinking. But I don't understand what is the problem that is being addressed by all this effort? How can we better use these creative minds , since they are clearly getting bored!. The modern bicycle is already such an efficient machine. What is the next limiting factor that is holding back such a practical mode of transport?? Puncture-proof tyres? Electric ABS brakes? Improved drive train or gearing ratios???? Your thoughts welcomed

If this is the way bicycles had developed, the person who invented spoked wheels would be hailed as a genius.

I love how he put the chain on the wheel, but it messes with his peddle to wheel spin ratio - he has to peddle a lot more for the wheel to turn. I suppose that is why you don’t see in bikes. Looks so badass though. EDIT pedal*

Exillent work.... Love From : india 🇳🇪🇳🇪🇳🇪

Clever engineering 👏

This video has given me plenty of insight on hubless vehicles. There are plenty of flaws in the idea, that are not present in regular bikes, which makes this idea hard to justify in real life. Sure, the build is fantastic and manages to address most of the issues inherent in the hubless bike idea, but those are still workarounds specific to this build. The most jarring issue for me would be the fact that there is one less mechanism shielding the rider and the components, which are more numerous and more fragile, from shocks in the ground, which was mitigated by using a fat wheeled bike, whose tyres absorb much more impact than other bikes. Second off is the effective removal of an entire axle from the drivetrain, which messed up the force multipliers involved. The bike is painfully slow, and while I can bet it is a breeze to climb up hills with, you aren't likely to get much speed out of it. This bike wouldn't have functioned at all without that second gear he added at the end, and in his final demonstration you can notice he had to speed up the footage to appear to move at regular speed. Basically, it is a really cool vanity build, but not really practical.

you should make a video showing people's reaction after seeing the hubless bike. great piece of engineering!

very cool! Thanks for sharing!

Genius thinking my friend 👍😎
