It's the Holy Roller!

Another attempt to reinvent the wheel. I suspect people will have nun of it. Anyway I always thought Ron Arad designed chairs.

A few problems, there:

• It's far too complex, in contrast to the spoke and rim design. It would be difficult to maintain and to clean.
  
• The video didn't indicate what the wheels sounded like, but I'd be surprised if they were quieter than wheels with tyres.
• I wonder how these wheels would respond if you had to brake suddenly? In fact, where are the brakes??

It's more of a "design exercise".

How does it corner on a slightly loose surface? How do the wheels react under heavy braking?
I'd rather be on rubber.
