Verge, hubless electric bike

This looks damn cool, everyone wants a Tron bike right!! Having the motor etc in the rear wheel probably makes changing the tyre a right arse though!

That’s an interesting bike, with a crazy number of torques!

However, with that wheel, it must also surely have a huge amount of unsprung weight. Other than acting as an anti-stoppie device, I wonder how that makes it handle?

Probably quite well for the intended use. Remember that most of the bike’s weight is in the battery and that’s slung very low. I bet it handles better than you’d imagine for a road bike. Probably turns in a bit lazily, but that’s down to the tyre profile.
