new wheel concept
- Thread starter bobsyouruncle
- Start date
Suspension wheels have been around for a while for bikes and wheel chairs etc. Not seen any for trucks yet with damping.
I would like to see some slow-motion or graphics of how it reacts over bumps. Wonder how they keep the bending loads
off the "spokes" that are at 90 degrees to those being compressed, some kind of ball socket at the ends??
Just looks fragile. Like to see how ABS and traction controls work with it.....lots of questions and at $17,000 for a set
those questions would need some real good answers.
Edit...that's great, they had me looking trying to figure out how the hell it could actually work. I give em credit, stuff like this
usually doesn't get me thinking it was serious, score one for April Fools Day!
