what u think of these solid looking wheels? They look great, as does the whole bike in my opinion, but I imagine they must suck in a big wind. Maybe the rear wouldn’t be noticeable but the front wheel looks even dangerous if caught a strong gust by surprise. Or maybe it’s no bicycle and the high rotation weight holds it.

What are you building with them?
I think cyclists use them for less drag

To me that looks like a render, and not an actual image. And anyway, a quick google for other pictures of them suggests that they're simply wheel covers, which can be removed if the rider doesn't like them.

The guys who sell those tried to get me to buy a 300$ set once lol for the 73 I built. They run a facbook group and hold it tight. Lol. Block anyone who talks bad about the wheel covers. I dont know how you could pay that much for 20 min of work on a CNC router and 10$ of plastic.

Nope.

Aerodynamics really start making a difference in cars and motorcycles after bout 100mph form my experience.

I’m not building anything with them just wondering why they would make them and also wondering what people thought of this new motorcycle

So they’re just plastic covers. I guess could be argued they help with aerodynamics (while the rider is sitting full-frontal) or easier to clean..or they look cool.
