Looks good for folding bikes.
Wonder how it rides with no damping though ?
I'd be asking about torsional rigidity, and how well it resists hard impacts, what with only three contact points per wheel. Plus it's £600 to solve a problem that doesn't really exist.
Has managed to raise £50k in funding
Doesn't each pedal stroke involve winding up the springs in the rear wheel somewhat?
Be good for off the line launches!! Put back brake on.... pedal and wind up springs...release rear brake.....PING!!
These look brilliant. 🙂
