Since there are pieces that bolt to hold the inner race,THAT is the hub,albeit a large one.A wheel cannot be hubless or it would roll away on its own.it APPEARS hubless.I'm not saying it doesn't look cool as hell,I'm just saying the inner race,and the system that clamps it is in effect,a hub,it is just so large you don't notice it..You don't need sopkes to make it an axle hub.One piece spun aluminum wheels have no spokes,but still have a central hub.In this case the inner race is used as a hub.

The hubless wheel was invented in Switzerland by Franko Sbarro in the 80's. Its good to see it in use.

I recall a cycle world article written by the fantastic Kevin Cameron on Billy Lanes shop, "Choppers Inc." its bikes, and in particular the hubless chopper. Billy took inspiration from helicopter propeller shaft bearing set ups amd materials and using his engineering education and creativity adapted them to his bike. It was ridable, reliable and durable. A watershed design in the chopperworld wasteland of the time.

By having the bearings close to the outside diameter of the wheel, they are spinning furiously at road speed. They travel several feet compared to having them close to the center of the wheel where they would travel inches at the same speed. These expensive bearings would have to be constantly bathed in very low friction lube to last even a short time. They would also need dirt and water protection they don't seem to have closer to the pavement. Having to change a $10k bearing every 500 miles verses 200k miles makes this a trailer queen to shows. Mag Lev wheels would be the only thing to make this configuration practical. Call me in 100 years.

@shakedown4769 4 жыл бұрын

My math is probably terrible, but that large of a wheel is turning 800 or 900 RPM, MAX, at highway speeds. Such a massive bearing has probably 5-6x the number of individual balls per row that a conventional hub bearing would have, meaning more bearings at any given time handling the radial load, and is going to be exponentially better at distributing lateral load since it's placed so far near the circumference of the tire. That all seems like it would be well within the abilities of such a large industrial cartridge bearing; if anything I'd expect it to last tens of thousands of miles unless continuously ridden in dry, dusty or sandy conditions with no maintenance.

It is NOT HUBLESS.The HUB happens to be hollow and about 18" diameter,but no matter HOW you look at it,the inner bearing race holder is a HUB,just with a big ass hole as stated by others.The old 3-speed bicycle hubs were hollow for the shift rod,guess they were hubless too,just with a smaller hole.It just APPEARS hubless because the inner race is exaggerated out of proportion.The inner pieces in the video that bolt to the inside of the wheel are bolting to the wheels very short AXLE/bearing race

It IS a hubless wheel... A "HUB" is a bearing setup that has an axle going through it.. this has a bearing on both side of the wheel that bolts to it.... there is no axle therefore it is "hubless" Noun The central part of a wheel, rotating on or with the axle, and from which the spokes radiate.

@jymebale5545 6 жыл бұрын

Yes, the people on earth know a hub as a bearing setup but what about aliens, I do hope they are so far advanced they'll have so much to teach us. Yep, I know most will say, aliens, they've likely done this so long ago, just a thought.

There is no hub here. The hub is the centre portion of the wheel to which an axle is attached. It is also where spokes are attached at the center of the wheel, if spokes are being used. (Hence "hub and spoke",) You're thinking of a hub cap on a car and assuming that whole area is the hub. The hub cap is actually meant to cover that centre portion that's attached to an axle. The rest of a hub cap is purely for decoration.

I think elctro magnets ??? he felt that the idea was ahead of materials and machine ability at his time back when he did it.......
