mimicking the mechanics of a tank, engineer builds custom ‘wheelless’ bike

Wheelless Bike? it exists

Who said that bikes require round wheels or any wheels at all? Following his latest creation of the triangle-wheeled bike, Sergii Gordieiev now presents another peculiar idea. This time, he challenges the traditional concept of wheels altogether with his wheelless bike. Rather than relying on round wheels, Sergii’s design incorporates rotating components to propel riders forward.

In this invention, Sergii strategically positions two sets of wheel belts at unconventional angles, resembling the mechanics of a tank. By harnessing the power of these belts, the bike gains momentum and allows the cycler to start riding. This bizarre approach defies the traditional expectations of bike design, highlighting Sergii’s ability to think outside the box once again.

pushing the boundaries of bike design

Sergii’s bike may not reach high speeds, but it’s guaranteed to turn heads. In his new video on his Youtube channel, named The Q, Sergii shows his latest creation from the ground up: a wheelless bike frame. Utilizing welding, drilling, and flexing techniques, he skillfully shapes the components, subsequently assembling them to create the bike.

Departing from the traditional circular wheels, he selected linear metal components adorned with chains. He then clothed them with rubber treads resembling the wheel belts found on tanks. To enable the pedals to drive the belt system, Sergii introduced an additional gear, connecting the pedals to the apex of the rear wheel. For stability, the wheels were securely affixed at two points, ensuring they maintained their angular orientation while riding the bicycle.
