Cool stuff from gizmag

• Internal combustion/steam hybrid from BMW -- The powertrain is retrofittable into existing vehicles, down to a 4-cylinder 3-series
• French company Osmos "reinvents the wheel" -- hubless "orbital" wheel offers numerous advantages, they claim
• Peugeot shows off two-seater electric "city car" concept -- you enter and leave through the center of the hubless wheels

Some of these may be old.  But they're still cool.

Yup, but the forks would have to be more radical than a straight shot from steering head to axle. Would have to go around, and be that much more fundamentally rigid.

But, I'm just a naysayer -- would love to see concept that approached the performance of a current sportbike.
