![]() ![]() The development of the orbital wheel could be revived. Today the holder of the patents, Motta Vistaholding, has concluded an agreement with Sbarro. Hence the lack of orbital wheel at Sbaro thereafter. This side-car, launched in 2000 to promote the watch inspired by the orbital wheel, made his reappearance in the Mondial de l'Automobile, Paris and in Essen in 2008.įirst in 1991 Franco Sbarro sold all his shares to Dominica Motta who tried to continue the development of the orbital wheel. the 1989 Sbarro Osmos), and patented by Globeholding of Geneva. Notet that another surprising vehicle was equipped later with orbital wheels : the Aero. Orbital Wheel (Franco Sbarro) 1989 Roues De Moto, Design De Moto, Motos. The body is suggested with metal wire, allowing a clear view of the whole link arm of the orbital wheel. ![]() The third motorcycle rather serves as a teaching tool. At the rear, there is a classic wheel with a hub and chain The second motorbike, red, has a link arms visible on the front that hides the bottom of the wheel. On right profile, nothing suggests any connection between the bike and its wheels The first motorbike, white, is probably the most pure. It must be said that the lack of a hub is more "visible" on two wheels than on a car. More than the coupé Osmos, it was the motorbikes equipped with orbital wheel that made sensation. Then, with Dominique Motta, Franco Sbarro founded the Sbarro Mottas Engineering will set up the program Osmos (Original Sbarro Mottas Orbital System) which will result in the presentation of the coupé Osmos and three spectacular motorcycles. Franco Sbarro asked a Swedish company specializing in bearings, SKF. To achieve this orbital wheel, it needed a very large-diameter wheel bearing. A centreless wheel is a wheel where the force is delivered in the perimeter of the wheel rather than in the centre there are a variety of centreless wheels. A fixed part lies around the inner ring of the bearing to which are set linking triangles, steering rod and brake gripper. A rotating part including the tyre, a centre-free rim and a brake ring The orbital wheel comprises two components : There was also The orbital wheel was designed in 1990 by Dominique Mottas of the French Osmos company in an attempt to reduce the number of moving parts by removing the center shaft andhub of the wheel and relying upon a circular rim inserted inside the wheel to support it instead. The center of gravity is lowered for better grip. A wheel without axis enables to support the vehicle at the lowest point. The idea is very simple: the constraints that occur on a wheel are at ground level, on the outer periphery. In 1989, Franco Sbarro has surprised everyone by presenting his most amazing invention: the orbital wheel or the hubless wheel. Sbarro Orbital Wheel or Hubless wheel, 1989 ![]()
