Chainless drive

Sunday, May 14, 2006

deponti‘s husband has a cycle with no chain. It uses a drive shaft instead. I’ve never seen anything like this before. Wonder if they make one of these with gears.

      This one came straight off the factory, somewhere around Madras.

Kewl!
Did you take it out for a ride? Does it require more energy on the pedal or something?

  Re: Kewl!
  Yup. Did a bit of riding along the mini forest in JP Nagar. No more energy on the pedal, but the seat was a bit too low for my comfort. Deepa’s offered to let me borrow the cycle whenever I want.
