Mono Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 if it's feasible for bicycles it looks like a feasible design for EUCs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardmech Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 It's not a very good design. On a EUC you can do better by just making a custom hub motor with free space in the middle or having a geared hub less wheel like the fastwheel ring. The rubber contacts between the wheels will wear out very quickly and nothing prevents obstruction getting in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhpr262 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hubless wheels are never a good idea. Stability is always greatly decreased, and to make up for it you have to add lots and lots of extra material to the rim - the very outside of the wheel, where additional rotating masses negatively influence performance and handling the most.

Right, but I believe the former is likely to weigh considerably more than necessary and the latter means annoyance with the gearing. Maybe a durable and quiet gearing is just a matter of costs, yet also costs are quite relevant in designing a potential mass product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
