A commenter on the article stated, "Putting the wheel's axle off center through a system of articulated links is bound to increase effective rolling resistance." and another said "This is going to feel like you're riding on sand."
- Crito 13y agoYeah, that is my suspicion as well. Even just the difference between street tires and mountain bike tires is very noticeable on a bike. This product might be worth it if you are using a wheelchair over rough dirt/ground, but I doubt this sort of wheel will become very popular with bicyclists (bicyclists already have shocks built into their bike frames, if that is the sort of thing that they need for their particular application).
