Concept Bikes & Bike Innovation - for better or worse

Ah yeah sorry, the render doesn't show it in full detail. The shaft is supported until it clears the front wheel by that triangle you see mounted on the leading fork blade. The 'kink' (which is where a CV joint would be) moves in an arc as it is attached to the wheel, and the primary driveshaft (the bit coming out from the cranks) is telescopic, and has a CV at the crank end, to allow this movement.

I do have all the engineeringy stuff in detail and tested (both physically and in a cad model), but unfortunately I can't show it - under the advice of one of my tutors I'm going to seek a patent application on it (can't see it getting patented because it's just a mashup of a few different systems, rather than something new in itself). But it does work!

Love your designs though, have you made anything you've designed?

Thanks very much! I've made a chair and some cutlery, but no bikes/vehicles as of yet.
