Well the "Revo Power". wheel isn't new there were a lot of bitish bike manufactures makeing these in the 50's so what so "Revo" about this design? "It's on the front wheel" I hear you say. But thats also been done. Also as it's powered by combustion it will need to pass an MOT test in england and be classed as a motorbike.

Good idea but rules get in the way of it being a hit.

The shaft drive to replace the chain is a good idea but again there is a problem shafts take more energy to turn than a chain so it would take more effort to peddle

Ski bike would be fun in the mountains but here in England we only have snow a couple of days a year so a bit of a non starter

Same with the solar powers trike it would only be any good for the couple of weeks we call summer. (Come on Global Warming I know you can make it better)

And the A-Bike that just looks scary small wheels and big pot holes in the road don't go.
