They say too many cooks spoil the broth, but when it comes to tech projects, the term “the more the merrier” is more suitable. This was displayed by nine mechanical engineering students who teamed up to design a unique project for their design class. The nine heads studying in Yale got together to create a spokeless bicycle. Their aim was to prove that you could build a human powered spokeless bicycle. Their bicycle features a bicycle whose front wheel has spokes but the rear wheel is spokeless. The design allows for the possibilities of an electric motor, or even “some sort of gyro balanced storage basket”. Although the students planned to keep both wheels spokeless, the time and budget constraints they had to make improvisations and go with only one spokeless wheel.

An innovative concept that will definitely create a revolution in bicycle building, it is simply amazing.
