Well, that's the first question popping up with me too, so asked the people at the stage, but it does work! It works like the old Solex drivetrains on bicycles. The engine/clutch transmits the rotation to a runner, which pushes itself onto the reartyre, of which the rim is basically a hugh bearing. So the reartyre is put into motion by that runner which is (unvisible) pushed unto the tyre, from under the drivers seat. The braking is also mounted inside this runner, so the runner not only puts the tyre/bike into motion, but also cn slow it down fastly, pretty cool technique!Tim_GTi wrote:GT Rocket looks awesome.
First video is amazing haha.
How does that bike work? Or does it not?
