Comment on Driven – A bicycle drivechain concept without derailleurs and chainsparent

Comments

There are plenty of motorcycles with belt drive, the suspension doesn't seem to be a problem.

motorcycles have different issues. The gear changes are internal inside the transmission, not in the belt drive line. Also, bikes tend to have multi-link suspension with chain growth through the travel. This allows the suspension to be reactive to pedaling forces to reduce rider induced pedal-bob that eats efficiency.
