this looks cool on the surface but i wonder about so many issues. is it harder to fix a punctured tire? why not a conventional baggage holder in front or above the back wheel? what happens if the fingerprint scanner breaks? their claim that it is harder to steal makes me laugh. 99% of bike thefts don’t happen because the perpetrator is looking for a bike to use, they simply throw a bunch of locked bikes in a truck and scrap them for parts in another country.
Lmao, they use solid tires. Probably because of how hard it is to replace a punctured tube on a wheel like this. Solid tires have no bounce, so in turn with a rigid wheel you get a rigid tire. So no cushioning. You get every bump and bounce of the road right in to the frame.
Yep, they’re called hubless bikes.
Reevo’s ebikes do this and use the space in the middle for possible luggage.
