Hubless monster bike: Raked out chopper sans spokes
Naresh Chauhan | Jan 27 2009

We have in the past seen some of the most fantastic bikes, but running a bike on hubless wheels is just too much of an improbable idea. However, keeping their obsession for class-apart bikes up and high, the biker boys at Amen Design have come up with a unique bike that runs on spokeless wheels. Inspired by Franco Sbarro’s hubless wheels, the raked out chopper comes with reduced weight and structural stress that trims down the vibration and steers the bike smoothly. The monster motorcycle is all about looks and design, don’t expect high performance or efficiency. Enjoy the images and video after jump.

i cant rap my head around this bike. how does it work? how does the drive work? its crazy. i give props to the builder. please email with a description

Unbelievable design, and wheel technology!

Cool technology of wheels.
And nice colour.

I remember watching a documentary on Sbarro’s re-invention of the wheel... It looks very cool indeed, but is questionable from an efficiency perspective...
