^^ That's the more expensive z-light activ link ones, I think rotors would suit it more though

Sorry, how is this standing up?
Just noticed the crank arms. What the hell? Is there some kind of advantage to that shape?
The advantage to that crank shape is that they are such an affront to nature that the repulsive force between them and the earth is sufficient to balance the gravitational attraction of the rest of the bike, so it stands up without any additional support.

haaaa ok, very well sir.
I love freaks for me the PMP shred.
If porn must be perfect, perfect for me must be unusual and a bit crazy. -

the cranks in the middle are just amazing.
The next iteration with 4 right angles was even more amazing, for the 3 seconds between being mounted on an axle and spinning up to infinite speed under its own power. The 3-angle one was the last iteration which could actually be ridden, you only had to apply pressure on the power stroke and the cranks then carried on for the next 270°. Unfortunately, the one-legged inventor failed to take account of the fact that other people have a power stroke on the other side at 180° after the drive side, and the first two legged rider to try the 3-angle cranks had both his ankles broken shortly after leaving the shed.

Are those PMP cranks in the middle real? I mean, they can't be... even if you thought that the shape had an advantage, why on earth would you add the extra angles?

^ What's the model?

Magnets.
No, but a lot of testers bought them. They were supposed to eliminate the dead spot at the top of each pedalling rev. They didn't.
It surely just moves the dead spot around the rotation by 90 degrees.
The most efficient method on a tandem would be to run the two cranks out of phase so that as a whole, the bike would always be under power and there would not be a 'double dead spot' as both riders reach halfway through a rotation.
Obviously this causes other problems with synchronicity between riders and the lateral movement of the bike itself is stopped and this in real life, would have more of an adverse effect than dead spots but its interesting to think about. -

hahhaaa I had already mentioned this idea in 2008, in fact, it's interesting and easy to implement.

True that! But come one, but with one of those frames you'd better go for a some better cranks..
