What they designed required a complete overhaul of how a bike normally works. Instead of chains, the usage of steel wires have been implemented. This drives the bike further forward, with even less effort then it took with the original model.
Some other positive effects the wire design allows is the fact that the rear tire can now be removed effortlessly, whilst before, several different components needed to be removed before this was possible.
Some people have raised speculation that this new bike may be in fact more difficult to assemble or modify. Róbert KOHLHEB, one of the bike's three original inventors, assures that "Even though the bike design looks complicated, it's very quite simple to operate and use. As a matter of fact, I'm confident in saying that people won't even notice a difference (while riding it)."
Along with Oliver and Gabor, his partners, he hopes that people will be intrigued by the fresh, futuristic design, and be prompted to purchase one. At the very least, they'll give it a try.
Although everyone's still very unsure of whether or not the new bike will catch on, one thing's for sure. If it does, the age-old dilemma of bike chains falling off will be a trouble of the past!
