New am looking at 2 different technologies gas powered bicycles
one is friction driven, a drive wheel rotating upon a tire vs chain driven at the sprocket. Any suggestions vs the utility of either one?
thanx,

New I think I'd go with the former.
Not having actually looked at either technolgy, but just thinking about how each would work, I'd go with the former. It seems to me that the friction drive would work well, and leave the bike operational as, well, a bike simply by moving the drive mechanism off of the wheel. The chain and sproket setup seems overly complex.

Minimal oversight is seen as more expensive and odious than frequent disaster.
