Whilst bicycle design is being continuously stretched to its limits, rarely do designers stray too far from the traditional three components—frame, wheels, and chain. By forgoing one of those essential elements—the name is a slight giveaway as to which one—the ‘chainless’ bicycle is reinventing the mold of bike design. Powered by tungsten steel gears instead of a rusty metal chain, the foldable model offsets the need to routinely tighten a chain, not to mention the problems of broken links, irritating chain skipping sounds, and caught up shoelaces.

Created by Sean Chan, the chainless wants to bring back the excitement of riding a bike. Using Shimanoo gear transition, the model is able to work it’s way around tiny corners and sharp turns, even giving the rider the capacity to cycle in a tight, 360-degree circle. By swapping a traditional chain for abrasion and heat-resistant tungsten steel gears alongside full system disk brakes, chainless sacrifices uneccessary parts in favor of increased agility.

The lightweight bike is also available in a foldable version, that can fit into the trunk of any car yet goes from portability to riding mode in less that 15 seconds. the ‘chainless’ uses ‘lock-n-go’ technology, which does exactly what you’d imagine—simply unfold the bike, lock it into place, and you’re good to go. With magnesium allow wheels and a built-in kickstand, the chainless S1 simply reduces the classic bike to its most essential elements. Founder and creator Sean Chan neatly epitomize the design, summing up that ’hopping on a chainless bike will give the rider a sense of freedom where other bikes fail to do.’

Technology has gone hay-wired..

I think this has to do with gears and fiction

Wetin technology go cause

You have to be a good thinker and also be in an enabling enviroment before you can design this kind of bicycle...

Hmmmm..... so this is what I actually saw recently folded inside a car..VW GTi....I first thought it was a folding bike... but then saw only two wheels... no chain... so figured it was some kind of hand truck... luggage cart... what the hell!

Cool,

Short of words..

Booked

nice bike but expensive more than most cars

Una don wake again abi

The wonders of science.

Hmmm good environment good thinking then creativity at its best...

This can be from naija where we busy they think of political instability, jungle justice, insecurities, Jamb palaver, Buhari health, Dino certificate gate, Niger Delta and Ipob, and many more. With all this issues how can a citizen think straight.

i get dis kind bicycle at home self

chai! You can lie sha.
Where did you see it? Something that is yet to be sold commercially.

Interesting , the gear component will have to be up to 3 or 4 toothed wheels and the size variations of the gear wheels will be large to be able to achieve the desired speed. I'm guessing power/torque will have to be sacrificed for speed or vice versa. Either way them try.

Ordering for one right away.......!



Should help with my old age.....

Savage

Cos tungsten does not wear easily, or never wears.. only diamond can cut tungsten.

......hmmm !!! Make kukuma go change my own

FTC

I bet it's going to a single gear bike

Serious

But wait what's d fun of a bicycle when u can't paddle it.

My opinion, this guts just ruined the best dad moments a man could have.

Too many details reveal the lie.

He even bothered to tell us the make and model of the car he saw the bike being unfolded from.

The paddle is on the back wheel

faithfancy:
Cool,


Meanwhile Barca fans when they meet Madrid and Arsenal fans on their way to work today

Man i don laff fall from chair dis morning...

It's still have two tires
I'm not impressed !!!

BlowBack:


The paddle is on the back wheel

Means the bike would be short in length

This bike model is not replicating the traditional one. It's like the new model 3310 vs the old one.

All these many English just to tell us adult bicycle is now like the 1-3 years old children bicycle that does not use chain.... The pedal is attached to the rare tyre so nothing spectacular about it.
