The hubless bike

The hubless front wheel of the Transport consists of a large, round frame with a standard bicycle rim and six bearing fitted over it. As the bike moves, the wheel's frame stays in place while the tire rotates around it on the bearings, essentially using the frame as an over-sized axle and leaving the center of the wheel empty. Meanwhile, the back wheel has a standard gear system that provides motion when the cyclist pedals.
