Zero Bike
The Zero Bike was designed in 1988 (!) by Makota Makita and Hiroshi Tsuzaki, then students at Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles.
Rather than spokes around a hub, this concept bicycle has wheel rims cradled by magnets, using the principle of magnetic superconductivity, also used in high-speed trains that are suspended above rails.
Not only does it look mighty interesting, the absence of spokes it is beneficial for the aerodynamics of the bike. Less is more! ;-)

This is the Zero Bike, created by people who’ve never ridden a bike! You’ll love what happens to the front “wheel” as soon as you try to turn. Next time you masturbate, don’t post it on the internet.
I love this bike its the best one out there I seen the Nulla bike, and the peugeoot b1k bicycle . None of them hold a candle to this bike it is the best out there /
Please tell me I can buy it now or in the very near future. If not please tell me where I
look for a hubless wheel bike like this .
Thank you for your time.
