"Having the Loopwheels has been a complete life changer for me. I can now go on longer journeys with less fatigue...."
From a purely aesthetic standpoint, it gives the Taurus — a car once relegated to rental fleets around the country — a much bolder, more aggressive appearance, with wheel arches full of rubber and chromed alloy. On the performance end of the equation, larger wheels definitely provide better handling, thanks to their ability to put a larger contact patch in touch with the road.
An integrated switch bank features up to six auxiliary buttons, and an available Trailer Reverse Steering Control system.
What do you get when you cross a Stealth Fighter Jet with a single speed bike? You get the B-9 Nh Black Edition Urban Stealth Bicycle ($8700). The bike was inspired by the F-117 Nighthawk aircraft. It features a carbon fiber frame and fork, one piece carbon stem-handlebar, BME Design’s unique carbon S72 Saddle system […]
A suite of customizable performance and off-road pages, designed to help tailor vehicle performance to your exact driving needs, are integrated within the digital cluster and massive 12-inch touchscreen.
Loopwheels use an off-the-shelf bicycle wheel but removes the spokes in place of a spring system between the hub and the rim for integral suspension. That suspension is made up of three carbon composite springs that act as shock absorbers with 45mm of travel, cushioning the rider for a smooth and comfortable ride. Unlike standard bike suspension systems, it provides tangential suspension, allowing your ride to absorb shocks from all directions — even from the front and rear.
According to Pearce, one of the advantages of Loopwheels is the fact that unlike a suspension fork, they can absorb shocks delivered not just from underneath or above but also from the front (as might happen when running into a curb head-on). He also admits that many other inventors have come up with designs for wheels with tangential suspension over the past hundred years or so, although he believes that today’s modern materials will allow his to work where others have proved impractical.

They didn’t even mention the rim profile, surface treatment or wind tunnel results. I mean come on! Call me when there’s an aero version. Maxx on May 20th, 2016 - 11:05pm
Also, that the e-tron runs at its lowest from the factory while in efficiency mode means there are likely efficiency gains going on.
Monitor instantaneous horsepower readings, steering angle measurements, personal records and more—all in a customizable dashboard.
Handling is similarly augmented. The e-tron’s center of gravity is already quite low thanks to the placement of the battery mass in the floor but tightening up the corners help keep it balanced.
Loopwheels' funding campaign runs on Kickstarter through May 15, 2013. Backer packages range from a single front or rear wheel to both wheels to a Dahon folding bike pre-pimped with its own set of 3-speed Loopwheels.
2.1: Humps - if u roll over a hump, den the shock can make the hub offset.but if it maintain with the situation i wrote on top. then you'll have the case o rolling in a "something like a smaller wheel since the radius reduced" but will be fine, then after the humps, the wheels would recover the shape. here you'll still good
Double wishbones are used mostly at the front. There are two wishbones, one above the other, to keep the wheel upright as it rises and falls.
