[MOC] Ranchu (Electric Hubless Bike Mk II)

[dickylaban]

This is the new model of my hubless bike, I have changed the driving hub with the gears system.
This model was created as I found out that the part#78442 - Gear Rack 6x6 Curved has the same diameter as the part #77107.
The steering also got slanted mounting point, the structure for the steering system also getting more sturdy.
Turning angle is a bit big due to the limited movement of the fork.
The overall design was inspired by the shape of a Ranchu (gold fish)
What do you think ?

UPDATE:
I have changed the steering into single arm system & it works as I want it to be.(bigger turning angle)
The bodywork also got some addition with the new panel.
Here is the video :

Nice looking design!

Any chance we can see it in action?*
 

Best regards
*We had our issue in the past, hope you don't take this question as hostile anyhow, just seeing it has electric components and you were mentioning big turning radiuses (this is unfortunately the same for all (rc-)motorcycles). I am just generally interested in unconventional technics like this and would like to see it in action.

I'd also like to see it.

Maybe seeing something new would inspire me to pick the bricks back up, they've been sat in the cupboard unloved for a few months now.

I have update the topic with a video for the model in action.
This model has reach it's final stage, I have another new design featuring 'auto return to center' for the steering.
I'll post it when it was ready.

I would say the correct answer is no it didn't, until you added the training wheels. Even if it's not actually a motorcycle (there's a different name for vehicles which drive on four wheels), it looks brilliant and the hubless wheel trick is cool too.
