Needless to say I have ridden and seen my share of peddle powered bikes. Since I also happen to have a background in motorcycle road racing stretching back since I was 6 years old; you may safely say I have been nutz over inline vehicles pretty much my entire life. I'm quite sure many reading this are not unlike myself. Additionally, I have been working in product development since I retired from racing in 1999. All of that being said I think some of the previous posters are missing the point a little bit here. All innovations must start somewhere. This one in particular happens to be one of almost legendary status as it has been dreamed about and conceptualized for decades and was even featured in the 1988 film Akira. In fact 90 + percent of concept bike drawings feature this very technology. The point here is that it has now ACTUALLY been done! Don't get me wrong, questioning design with ones own view and logical process is how improvements get made. I just hope you guys aren't simply babbling here to sound smart by picking apart someone's achievements. I hope with any luck that you all take to your sketch pads, CAD applications and machine shops and get to work on improving these 'faults' you are so quick to point out. I look forward to seeing your results posted here one day. Good luck and hey Yale guys... KICK ASS!!!!!

I can not see to much benefits with the spoke wheels. What happens when you get a flat tire?, the system look complicated to repair a flat tire, you need carry out some tools to repair.
