F A Q

1. How does the drive shaft transmission system work?

Imagine viewing the bottom of a truck and viewing the drive
shaft spinning beneath the truck attached between the engine
and the rear wheels.

Now, visualize engine replaced by someone pedaling a bicycle
and the bicycle wheel is turning.

Remember the traditional three speed bicycles? Well, this is
the same principle that applies on how the gears are changed
for the drive shaft driven bicycle.

Unlike a traditional derailleur system there are not any front
and rear derailleur or multiple spockets, only an internal
speed hub i.e.; 3 or 7 speeds.

2. Doesn't the transmission make the bike heavier and
more complex?

The drive shaft driven system does make the bicycle slightly
heavier than a regular bicycle by a couple of pounds, however,
the weight trade off is compensated by a system with less
moving parts. Also, our aluminium and chrome moly models
of the chainless system are available as well as the chrome-
moly and alloy bicycle frames.
