The Kickstarter platform continues to raise funds for the production of a fundamentally new bicycle. The rider transfers the force to the wheel, alternately pressing the pedals instead of traditional pedaling.
The inventor came up with the idea of a bicycle without chains, watching the torment of cyclists when changing and repairing dirty chain gears. According to the engineer, modern materials are used to make the invention lighter. In addition, NuBike requires less effort when riding, which leads to a smaller number of injuries of knees, ankles, and hips.
A simple design increases the reliability of the mechanism and simplifies the repair. The standard NuBike version will be offered with 4 gears. Simple and quick dismounting of the rear wheel is convenient both when storing the bicycle and when transporting it.
The use of carbon fiber helped the developers to reduce the frame mass to 1.3 kg, and the total mass of NuBike is only 10 kg. Engineering was carried out using computer simulation and allowed to reduce the total weight of the bike to 2 kg in the future. When testing the models, 3D printing was used, which ensured a quick response to the need for changing parts. All materials and technological production processes comply with the standards of the aerospace industry.
