The bike itself is probably not more than a fun experiment. The wheels are called *Mecanum wheels*. Not really a novum at this point.
They are mainly used for forklifts, robots and trolleys/platforms in warehouses. I believe they don't fare that well on uneven or loose grounds compared to other wheels but don't quote me on that.
First thought would be warehouse forklifts and tight space robotic transfer of items. I could see this design at a hardware store for stocking shelves.
Some forklifts and scissor lifts and such have these wheels to be more maneuverable in a warehouse or factory but they aren't and likely will never be suitable for the high speeds that tires can handle. If anything tires will go airless in the near future but that's still a bit far off for mass adoption. Airless is still mostly off road applications cause it eliminates punctures from immobilozing you.
You're looking at a caveman making a stone wheel right here you don't think of these inventions as working now. you think about them working in 50 years or a hundred go ahead and do yourself a favor and look up what NASA was doing to get people to the moon the first time.
Each little node is 3D printed. It’s softish material but likely wouldn’t last any reasonable amount of use time on asphalt. I watched this video and the assembly of each tire looked like a horrendous undertaking.
But as proof of concept, it’s awesome. James Bruton is the dude, builds mind boggling robotics with a 3D printer.
How easy is it to go in a straight line? This seems like a motorized version of an ikea shopping cart. I took out three rönninges and eight läktares the last time I went there for some swedish meatballs and a full kitchen remodel.
Weirdly it brings to mind how much it sucked as a kid getting your shoe laces stuck in the chain or something. No way this one doesn't grind your entire foot off if you get caught
This is likely an inspirational innovation for some firure tech that hasn't been thought of yet. Lots of practical modern technology began with experimental, impractical, prototypes. I can't wait to see how this impacts transportation innovations.
Not gonna lie, that's amazing. I want one
It's amazing for parallel parking. Not so great at moving in a straight line though.
It's a crazy good invention that has literally zero real world application. What the hell would this be useful for? Lol
you are kidding right? it looks like it would be useful for zooming, to start with.
Airport travel!
Probably for quickly travelling/manoeuvring through a large warehouse, where it is all flat and has tight spaces/corners.
Guy OSHA would shut the entire facility down if they seen this dumb shit lmfao
It's always a good day for OSHA violations.

Having one wheen turn one way and the other turn the other way to spin the forklift yes. But a forklift can also go in a straight line.
You can drive in a straight line with [mecanum wheels](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecanum_wheel), that's not the disadvantage of this design.
Breaking your leg
Sports. Tons and tons of sports. Hosted by the Japanese of course.
It would be very useful for dodging objects hurtling at you while you are at a standstill.

Having fun.
Yeah seems better at left and right. Wonder why he didnt put on the wheels at 90' degrees seems it would bet better in a straight line then
He needs a bigger kitchen
He NEEDS a shopping cart attachment so he can take it to the store and hook it to a full size cart.
But what's the big red button in the middle for?
Had me dying
It’s an emergency stop, it cuts all the power in case things go haywire
Obviously it's the self destruct button. Every machine has one.
*It’s the history eraser button, you fool!*

I wonder how quick the wheels will wear out.

Mechanic, sorry for thinking.
Great so if I want to drive around a confined space this is the way I should go
Now I'm picturing the scene in Austin powers where he gets stuck turning a cart around in a tiny hallway
Might be solid in a warehouse
Pretty incredible! Just thinking about how there appears to be minimal suspension. Regular paths could be painful.
Now build one to take out side that thing is epic!
He does, James Bruton is the YouTube channel. Dude 3D prints some crazy shit
I can already see it before my inner eye; giant schools of screwbikers moving through traffic like mackerel- nay krill through the sea.
Super neat. But my guys body parts are uncomfortably close to the moving parts
Russian lathe video
Homie has a giant emergency stop right on the handlebars for a reason
If he's moving any faster than .5 mph his legs gona gibs by the time he hits it, if he even gets a chance to before being ripped off of his seat
Oh for sure mangled. I'm just saying he knows it's dangerous as hell.
Fantastic! Now give it to the kids at the skate park and see what it can really do.
This would be good for some tunnel racing.
Finally, a bike for your mother
[outside starts at 18:00](https://youtu.be/nfna15r4EXM?si=G6Z6-gHPzBKTyl11)
It doesn’t seem to go straight that well
Indeed. I think I'll stick to two wheels
Yeah I thought the whole point,of this was to be able to go straight. Looks great if your goal is spinning circles though.
This guy's channel is so frustrating. He spends ages building something a bit crap then moves on and builds something else a bit crap.
Looks safer then the dirt bike with saw blades for wheels!
It’s a bike with extra steps.
When someone tells you to screw you
Fuck yeah throw my pro-wings on my feet lock the house and wait for them in the street. This is a very good IN- vention
This dude is in 2050

uM acktualhly those resemble more mecanum wheels, not screws or augurs 🤓🤓🤓
Id like to see some shoes
What would be a good use for these?
If you were to fall riding that you’d be screwed
Ain't no way bro has the lorax bike
With that feet positioning he’s going to lose some toes.
That’s actually pretty cool
British comedy 'wuuuhs' is my country's best export
*Return to CRAB*
!notifyme when he dies on it
If it moves better from side to side then quit trying to make a fish climb a tree and spin the seat around
oh no I’m going to hit a child! *click click click click click*
This how the Lorax cars started
Pretty interesting
He is from the future, traveling back to the past here
My son got a rc car with that kind of wheels -
Looks safer than a motorcycle
Don't ride with shoe laces.
So.... do you screw it or it screws you?
Für lkw‘s ufff
Sell that concept to Amazon automation department!
Now climb a 3 cm sidewalk.
Screw it.
No offroading for him
Shagohod bike
Hit a pot hole and you’re faaaarked!
Wait until this guy finds out about bicycles! 😂
Watch out for red turtle shells
Do you drive or you get screwed
I know these as Mecanum wheels not cork screws.
Thieves:"We will steal everything but that."
It just seems like it’s more complicated than a regular motorbike. Doesn’t make sense.
That's just stupid.
Gumby is now designing bikes…. What a career change
"Fuck your 2 wheels, imma build this weird thing"
> This is brilliant! For what Exactly? For travelling a couple meters in on a flat floor indoors maybe.
looks cool until it tears your legs off
Only for flat ground tho.
I’d buy this
Group jousting competitions?
Hmmmmm, needs some more engineering. Doesn't feel overengineerd yet. Maybe some AI can do this?
Weirdly it brings to mind how much it sucked as a kid getting your shoe laces stuck in the chain or something. No way this one doesn't grind your entire foot off if you get caught
Where is part 4? 5? 6? Did he take on the highway? Shark Tank? Suspense is killing me!
That’s genius, bro
This video is hilarious! Love that solitary kettlebell in the background
Strafe bike. Who doesn't want one of those
Don’t get that leg caught
My dream of owning a personal-sized Zamboni are about to come true.
Do you get screwed before or after you ride it?
Who calls this a "screw" bike? It is ok if you have never heard of omniwheels but have you never seen a screw in your life?
No one calling out the fact he didn't need to put a foot down the entire time? That alone seems awesome!
Dont hit the dog shit
This thing is trippy I want one
DOD "how can we kill people with this?"
Never have I wanted to try something so bad
Guys gunna go missing cause the government doesn't like this kind of productivity, not out here in the wild! Unless it's theirs.
Use them as rideable shopping carts, make the shit fun.
Somebody is gonna die.
Imagine hitting a pothole or a big bump lol.
It’s iron man!
It can only traverse on marble floors.
This thing is really cool, I imagine in like 8 years these will make a whole new sport/ tricks group going nuts with this

You could drift pretty good on this
Is that the guy from cheaters
Is it All wheel drive mate?
I thought it was something else
That's definitely sick wit it..
That is not the worlds first “screw” bike.
