Nor spokes... Lol

Hubless Reevo ebike pushes the limits of engineering ... and credulity

This eye-catching ebike offers 750 watts of power, about 500 watt-hours of battery, a long list of neat gadgetry and an impossible-looking pair of hubless wheels you can poke your arm right through. We'd urge caution when it comes to buying one, though.

No rolling either, after hitting a pot hole.

Interesting technology... is it ready for prime time?

Show bike. It won't be able to take a pounding.. Just a waste of technology for a visual concept.
I bet you can't push it forward or backward or coast without a motor running.

Watch the rider.......at the twelve and six o'clock crankarm positions, he momentarily stops, before pedaling through. Just a strange, unnatural looking cadence.

PT Barnum might not recognize the world we live in today. But I think he would sure recognize the Big Sell going on here.

i dont know amy more about it than the rest of you do. I just thought it was interesting. Same reaction as yours. Reminded me of the first Tron film in 1982.

I think there were doubts about one sided forks/lefties too.

I’ll wait for the hover bikes.
