It's a nice novelty, but it does appear to be an exact rip-off of the Billy Lane design! I don't know if I would trust my life to this type of wheel hub design just yet... seems to me the more bearings you have inside the wheel the more chances you have for a bearing failure. I know the more bearings you have in a race the smoother they are due to they spread the load across the surface of many bearings. All it would take is to have just one bearing to fail and the whole assembly is FUBAR!
Unless this wheel is made of a very hard metal; it will be out of round in no time causing vibration like hell if it's not already doing it. nice concept for a medical c t scan machine

I don't see a brake on that wheel. Is there one and I just can't see it, or can you not put one on it.

@carlosjimz meh. im sure they designed it strong enough not to fold in on itself under normal conditions....

not really hubless just hollow. its a big hollow hub, with bearings on one side. looks sweet....

I'd be curious to see just how much torque a wheel like this can take before wobbling.

Ok, I get the novelty factor, but what's the advantage. I wonder how it holds up with grime, dirt and potholes, as well as wear and tear in general.
