O dear god....

Absolute crap.....really carbon spoked wheels with the help of steel spokes,tires that arnt really tires at all?? It looks different but not functional or cool,or breakthrough in tech either.

I love the magic drivetrains that these concepts usually have.

Instead of a chain it uses rainbows.

Design school students knock out stuff like that all day while they're in school. When they graduate, they find out what a hard business it is, and end up designing peanut butter jars.

i don't understand how the rear wheel spins
i don't understand how the drive train works
i don't understand what is supporting ur weight on the saddle
i don't understand how that handlebar is suppose to turn
i don't understand why concept bikes never pay attention to functionality

i dont understand why creativity is frowned upon.

its a concept.

if a concept bike is never meant to be functional then I welcome all their creativity. If it is meant to be functional then I don't understand how anything works on that bike.

don't stifle my creativity bro

lol.

I think they should take this one step further and make a concept carbon unicycle with spokeless rim drive...

IIRC, that thing broke right away.

Really? I didn't know that, nor do I really care - imo the bicycle wheel is a thing that doesn't need any radical changes to make it better anyway. My point only was, that this Peugeot bike is not as futuristic or even just original as it looks.

hubless wheel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubless_wheel)

So they just made the axle and bearings wider to take up the whole inside of the wheel, then made the axles hollow? Sort of? Cool Idea. But it looks different than the way these wheels would work.
