This is kinda fascinating - is there an advantage to using a ton of bike wheels (and accompanying parts) for this rather than four car wheels?
Probably lighter and easier to steer?
Weight distribution. Most bike wheels are only rated to support 100 Kg, having 14(?) of them means a 1,400 Kg weight limit or almost 3,800 lbs.
This is certainly neat, but it feels like it’s just reinventing the car.
I can see this being better than a car in some ways, namely the ease of replacement of parts and carbon reduction. But this can’t be cheap, takes up a shit load of space, and could be a problem if it moves at enough of a speed to hurt somebody.
I do like the aspect of powering it with two other friends though.
