Spokeless Smart Bike

The Cyclotron looks like something that Daft Punk would spin around on, but it’s designed to radically improve the cycling experience for the everyday rider.

The cables and chains are concealed inside its ultra-lightweight, aerodynamic carbon frame, protecting the gear from the elements and achieving a streamlined look. Small, simple adjustments allow riders to switch between riding modes: an upright, cruiser position and a low-profile, bent position for sport and speed riding.

Other features include integrated smart lights, built-in sensors and a smartphone app for training data, theft prevention and accident reporting.

What’s most intriguing are the bike’s hub-less wheels, which create usable space that the designers call “utility slots.” They’ve created a series of modules, including storage baskets and child seats, that can be attached without tools to the inside of the front or rear wheels.
