Did not see that coming

Not sure who felt like they had to reinvent the wheel!

He can keep it!

Well maybe the video is real, but the bike is fake.

1) Look closely at the junction between the spokes and the "wheels". I see the spokes. I see the "wheels" but I do not see them connect to the spokes.

2) Why is there a valve stem in the wheels since there is no air involved in this situation.

3) Bikes are a very stable platform since the two spinning wheels act a gyros to keep the bike stable. I am not certain of the physics involved with those tracks sliding along the wheels. I do not think that would provide the same stabilizing effect that the wheels would provide.

I have been wrong before. I am open to evidence it is real. But for now, for me, its is faked.

Mechanically I think plausible,not ideal as you say but the transition from pedal to motion on the track if we can call them that behind the seat with reduction to have torque nice solutions, valve stem s just for show.I think not fake just a guy with a nice workshop and skill.Wont be selling them soon though.
