Talk about slow time-to-market: 500 years after being developed, Leonardo Da Vinci's transmission hub is finally going into production with Ellsworth's The Ride bicycle.
Da Vinci, the Original Industrial Designer (sorry, Raymond Loewy) developed a transmission based on independently rotating spheres. The NuVinci hub offers a smooth transmission of power without the jerky clunks that come with changing gears on today's chain-and-derailleur bicycles. I guess if your beard was three feet long, you'd look for a way to get rid of the chains too.

Now they just need someone to design a bike frame, sheesh.
um... 3g for a comfort bike? that has to be a joke.
OOHHHH id like to see it in action, and would it be good for flying down hills into trees?
Now just get someone to make a good looking bike and this company will have it all.
$3K (!!!!) for a comfort bike and it's made in China! I just found out from Ellsworth.
SBS is importing Nuvinci-equipped BATAVUS commuters' bikes from Holland for ~$1500.
nice work is that a chain free bike or no friction momentum bike
Upright bikes are sooo old fashioned! the future is recumbents.
