British YouTuber makes world’s first mecanum-wheeled e-bike
Called the Screw Bike, it isn’t the best-looking electrical e-bike out
there, but its unique abilities certainly compensates for that.

Quotes:
British YouTuber James Bruton has created what might be the world’s
first driveable, self-balancing, omnidirectional, mecanum-wheeled
electrical bike. Made from a mix of off-the-shelf and 3D-printed
parts, the bike is certainly unique.

Building on his success with an earlier prototype self-balancing
conventional bicycle, the new vehicle must be seen in action to be
believed. The mecanum-wheeled bike balances much like a Segway but can
also move in any direction thanks to its novel wheel configuration.
