The Q has done it again. Sergii Gordieiev, better known by The Q, the nickname that gives his YouTube channel its name, has once again surprised his more than 13 million followers with another impossible bicycle. The Russian engineer has published a new video on his channel in which he shows the process of creating a bicycle without wheels that is capable of moving on a flat surface, as can be seen at the end of the recording.
At the end of last April, the youtuber established in the United States presented a bike from which he had removed the original wheels and replaced them with other wooden triangular ones that he himself was in charge of manufacturing. Previously, he had given free rein to his prolific imagination by building a bicycle with sprockets to pedal on ice, another with two rear half-wheels with which he defied all mathematical logic.
Gordieiev is also the author of another extravagant bike that mounts two square wheels, as we published last April in Moveo. The engineer states in the description of his latest video on the bike without wheels that all these creations that come out of his imagination are made solely for the purpose of having fun. “Why do we do it? Just for fun, ”writes the youtuber under the images of his ride with the bike without wheels.
Also creator of the world’s smallest bicycle and bicycle tires made from 60 tennis balls, The Q wanted to go a little further this time by building a bicycle without wheels. To carry out his latest folly, Gordieiev got hold of a bicycle from which he removed its traditional circular wheels to install in their place two rotating parts like those that are equipped on battle tanks.
In the video, the engineer shows the process of making the bike from the moment he puts his idea on a piece of paper until he rides it in a park. Once he has drawn the idea, Gordieev gets down to work.
In the images, we see how the engineer welds, drills and assembles all the components of the bicycle until he achieves what was previously only the product of his imagination. The final step is to install those two rigid axles that replace the conventional wheels. They are covered by individual tires that integrate a transmission chain connected to a sprocket, which makes them move to the sound of pedaling.
Gordieev himself shows us the result when at the end of the video you can see how he gets on the bike and begins to pedal naturally. The bicycle advances without any apparent difficulty, although, yes, it does so giving off a loud noise due to the rubbing of the structure -which serves as wheels- with the surface.
We will have to pay attention to the Russian youtuber’s channel to see what he surprises us with next time. Although after seeing all the eccentricities that he is capable of creating with a bicycle, it is hard to imagine what Gordieev’s new madness will consist of once he has already explored all the limits of the impossible with a simple bicycle.
