Thread: Hubless Chopper

I know this isn't exactly new, Billy Lane has built one before, but this is the coolest chopper I have ever seen.

Cool bike video

What the heck? How does that work?

No idea... the front I can understand, but I have no idea how the rear "wheel" is driven.

do want. two.

i'm impressed

Thats sweet. I knew how they worked one time, but now I can not remember.

A member on our local board said the the original one made by Billy Lane used a carrier bearing from a cement mixer. Sounds interesting.

One of Billy Lane's bike. It was easier to figure out since it was still chain driven



He's built 5 hubless choppers... Psycho Billy Cadillac, Money Shot, The Chronic, Miss Treated, and King of NY.

BTW... Billy holds an Associate of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Florida State University and a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Florida International University.

Just a little info I found on the web.

nice!!!
