The drive "wheel" is not circular so there are bumps for the chain to jump up and down between peaks and valleys, resulting in a tensioner vibrating violently. That's why you cannot get this design to commercialize.

Rear shifter only better option coz fdont shifter will b heavier which will make cycle slower, best option is bigger crank set n smaller rear cog n add back motor can go 70+ km/h

The top small sprocket just behind the main adjustable gear is going to be under major pressure under real use of peddling. Not a good idea.

@keithfirstbrook26956 жыл бұрын
yeah there is an update on the way .....quite a surprising one .....one that gives the rider a 24% advantage over a standard cycle.......with no added weight .....looks nothing like the one above......yeah that's right 24%.....but its not suitable for humans who don't like music or have no imagination.

Hi Jacob yeah there has been quite a lot of progress we have a new product up and running its related to the above prototype.....but totally different .....we are still doing the Science on the idea but the first results are just great .....it reduces the pedaling effort in any chosen gear selection by up to an incredible 50% ........with very little or no weight gain.

That model is nice but what happens when you stop to pedaling, centripetal forces make the diameter coming back. And, when you apply force with your foot, it is enough centripetal force to maintain the better diameter?

Would be very interesting to see this combined with a shift kit. This way lateral chain movement could be eliminated. Then you could have an automatic variable geared motorized bicycle similar to what I currently have. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnineHx_mdNgY9U Which is ideal to meet legal requirements for small cc engines requiring an automatic transmission system.

A certain poignancy in seeing this and other videos like it, since the ideas contained in all are now many decades old (if you're old enough you saw earlier versions in magazines like Popular Science.) The mechanisms failed to advance beyond the curiousity stage then, and are unlikely to do so now. Most cyclists don't have the interest in efficiency, or any understanding of how variations on an old theme improve it (which many do.) It is now over 30 years since I made and began using an oval front sprocket on my bike, an idea which at that time was over 50 years old. In a city of over a million people, I am still the only such user!
