Nulla bike is a minimalist bike concept. Nulla is one way of saying “nothing” in Italian. Bradford Waugh named it that way for lack of central hubs or chain-drive, giving it a very minimal visual weight. “Ditch that fancy car and buy a stylish bicycle”, this is what you are going to say once you have this one with you. With such a clean, simple and sleek look, this bicycle is surely going to change your mind whether to buy a car, or bike or bicycle. This futuristic bicycle provides deep coverage, good appearance and comfort perfect for riding and skating. However, it is not sure whether you will have a safe riding with this kind of seat on a bicycle.

Nulla is number zero, also in german - null.

How heavy are those wheels to take a load without spokes? The concept here is beyond my sphere….

Problem: torque. Hub and spokes distribute efficiently and evenly. Weird little gear on rim doesn’t.
Result: instability and RAPID component failure. I think the drivetrain would slip before the rim warped, but who am I to say? I’m one of those antedeluvians who think the wheel doesn’t need reinventing.
I think I’ve seen this thing before….

Very very nice 3D picture. It’s easy to create such a 3D concept.
But more intesting is the production of this bike!

I don’t understand… how does the bike change gears if a chain is not used?

Lovely form.
But wouldn’t this design mean the rolling friction would be doubled?
Also, I think that the asymmetric load on a small section of the wheel rim (as opposed to the spokes distributing the load evenly) would require some special materials? Haha!
It looks really beautiful!
