jeep bike

this is what happens when jeep makes a bike...it looks awesome to drive, but I can't figure out how they can have a shaft-driven front wheel, and still have suspension travel???

It's called a slip shaft. A lot of driveshafts have them, it's actually pretty easy to do a lot of vehicles have them.

It's about time somebody did that. Looks fun.



I once cobbled together a front wheel drive bike. I couldn't turn to save my life, but it was cool.
