Reminds me of this:
What happened?
The meme above is better because the front saw is facing the correct direction for stopping.
Judas Priest! Maybe the OP has just A Touch of Evil.
Engineering points for opposing teeth orientation - forward grip on the back wheel for accelerating, backwards on the front wheel for breaking. I like it.
Also grip for steering. Backwards facing teeth on the front wheel would just end up skidding a lot of the time and make the bike impossible to turn. Is there a video of this thing in action somewhere?
There is indeed a video of this.
There's also a video of someone trying a similar setup with a dirt bike, though those guys didn't reverse the front teeth (did still steer ok, not sure how well it'd brake).
you must be something special; they didn't even give me a warning and they didn't say anything at all, just an immediately reddit style shadow ban. lol
