'The Infinity' bike has been designed by Stephan Henrich as a very different take on bicycle designs that imagines what could be done to drastically change form. The bike is characterized by its all-wheel design that literally highlights all wheels with one singular wheel that runs throughout instead of two separate ones. This monotire design is propelled forward thanks to a central wheel that will crank when pedaled to churn the wheel in the right direction.
'The Infinity' bike is imagined with a short chain along with an eight-speed gearbox that is completely different from conventional two-wheeled designs. The conceptual bike design has been 3D-printed by Henrich, but would only be able to be produced at scale with further prototyping.
