Look Mom no spokes

While a cool contraption to look at, I wish the story would have defined why this design prototype was created. What issue is being addressed or what is being improved upon. I guess I like to know the 'why' before I can fully appreciate the 'how'.

Interesting but I'm with Brian, I want to know more. It reminds me of something I've seen before in Sci Fi, perhaps Tron.

Here you go.
Basically i guess it's just a college engineering project

Did not actually expect an answer Dan but I'm not surprised you found it. Now I know the why, a place was needed for a basket! Really a great idea that was long overdue. I have often thought that I could make a boat load of money if I could invent a way to mount a basket on a bicycle. For some reason ripping out the rear hub to make room for the basket never crossed my mind.

Leave it to Dan.
