Gearless Bicycle - 'The Ride' Uses NuVinci CVP Drive (GALLERY)
'The Ride' Uses NuVinci CVP Drive

That’s right, it’s a bicycle called “The Ride” by Ellsworth with the self proclaimed “revolutionary” gearless NuVinci™ Continuously Variable Planetary (CVP) drive. If their claims are accurate, this transmission system does sound revolutionary and not just a gimmick to justify the almost 4K price tag. In addition, The Ride Signature Series features a belt drive and carbon fiber components.

It rides like no other bike on earth – a smooth, almost silent glide. It’s The Ride™ by Ellsworth – the first bike to use the revolutionary gearless NuVinci™ Continuously Variable Planetary (CVP) drive. Built from the finest materials, The Ride offers not only ground-breaking new technology in its drivetrain and frame geometry, but also a sleek, stunning design that will turn heads wherever you ride. No off-the-shelf parts would do when Ellsworth created this complete bike. The patent pending frame and fork, as well as many other components were specifically designed for The Ride. It’s a piece of art and a piece of history, all in one package. (ellsworthride)
