Basics
- A bicycle that has a powered front and back wheel, as opposed to just the rear wheel
- Can be mechanical, mechanical electric, or electric only in design
- Has the advantage of more grip, and possibly more efficiency due to no "dead weight wheels"
Industry Standards
Chain Based Mechanical Mechanical
Gear Based Mechanical
Christini Bicycles
Mechanical Electric
- These are quite rare due to the complexity involved, especially if one wants all wheel for both modes; not just electric mode (via two hub mounted motors)
Christini Bicycles
Electric Only
- Too many to list really, just get a bike, slap a motor on each hub, wire it up, and you got yourself a functional all wheel drive bike, not desirable though due to no backup after battery depletion
Existing Open Source Designs
Minimum Viable Product
- A High Rigidity Cargo Bike that Has All Wheel Drive
- Long Lifetime
Basic Design
Frame
- Steel Pipe Welded or Fibre Reinforced Pipe framing
Mechanisms
- Basicall same steering as a standard bike
- Dual Chain System (Like The Patent) with removable covers on all the chains for safety as well as durability (Stuff can't get into them as easily
Tires
- anywhere from 4-5 inch diameter, depends on money available, conditions it will be used in, and weight of vehicle total
- This is essentially the highest end one ~150 USD
- many for inches f=go for around 50 USD or so for cheap ones and 100 USD for the nicer ones
- Could Possibly Expirement With 3D Printed ones, (Airless even) but durability is questionable
Pedals
- 3D Printed With a Strong Material (Nylon, PC, ABS, Composites, etc)
Handles
- TPU 3D Printed
