I wonder if I should put M5 Twospoke wheels on my M5 Highracer? I should, but I can't afford to.

How round is it? How long will it stay that way?

Hmmm, something looks seriously wrong with their demo bike, yet, they pre-sold a bunch of them.
But, I think there have been other bikes that have successfully built rim guided bikes.

Let's hope it's better than three spokes:

I'm fairly certain most people aren't riding in the wind conditions that would "generate speed" using these wheels.

What I think looked odd about it was that it apparently had a very full fender/sleeve that the wheel and tire went into (hopefully easy to fix a flat).
So... your squirrel could still get sucked up into the fender/sleeve, and make quite a mess out of it.
Of course, a hamster might be able to run on the wheel, giving an extra power boost
