The fella from Amen Cycles have produced a motorcycle chopper with no hubs.

Apparently the setup has many benefits. Wonder if this could be copied and improved...shouldn't be too hard to improve on....

Stop giving Chinese motorcycle manufacturers ideas!
What's might happen? The Zongshen hub-less cruiser!

I can't see how this works but it looks to me like another ingenious solution to a non-existant problem.Jincheng Monkey JC50Q-7

Just another gimmick, I don't really care for that bike... But to each his own I suppose.

It could be interesting to see where it could go if a major manufacture took to it. Taking a look at Honda's new V4 concept, (which they have committed to 2010 production) we may see this technology applied in a very serious manner !!!

I think that choppers have been done to death, and this is just one more take on the theme.
The mini-choppers are far more exciting IMO. NO, Really! Johny Pag (the US brand, not sure what name they sell under in other countries) has that 300cc chopper, which is a much cooler concept to me. Kind of like compact firearms in a way to put it in perspective.
The two Hi-Birds with 250 twins are cool bikes (we already have the chopper version in the US) and seem far more useful to me. Choppers are pose machines that people have been trying to make more original than the last guy's bike. Hell, the TV show American Chopper had to add in family fighting and yelling between the lazy dad, Paul, and his overworked sons just to add interest, and there is not much interest!! The finished bike might be original, but it still looks stupider than the last stupid one they designed!!
Harley has stayed away from the chopper market for the most part, and I think their V-Rod was a step in the right direction. I would love to see more bikes like this (arguably, Yamaha did the muscle bike thing first with the VMax, and I am sure there were bikes even before that, but you get my point ), but choppers are tired and boring and making spokeless wheels only adds slight interest to an already boring niche!
