big wheel
They began with the goal of having the widest front tire possible. They ended up with variable steering angle and a burly damper to soak up vibrations, beefed-up frame, stiffer fork springs, sealed up frame tubes to serve as a gas tank, which lowered the cycle’s center of gravity and improving its handling. “We never expected to make it ride like a sport bike,” Davis says. But the end product might actually perform better for a lot of riders. Score one for engineering from the pavement up.
