I am the broken record of critique; hubless rims, inefficient, unstable, hugely increased drag from increased number of bearing points... Assist motor; good... funky bar ends; no need...

This concept has been done 100 times over; it is not new. Every design student has come up with the same thing. There is a reason it is not made. It does not make sense. Computerized, hubless rimmed bike in the rain?! Think about it. I have built, ridden and field tested bikes and components. Simplicity will win out, always does, always will.
