😂🛞 almost...

Trying to test a single-spoke wheel concept in real life ended exactly how physics predicted it would…

Engineering a functional one-spoke wheel sounds cool on paper, but standard road forces make it structurally impossible to sustain.

The entire weight of the car, along with cornering and braking loads, concentrates through that single point of contact.

Without additional spokes to distribute stress, the single structural spoke gives way under load, causing the wheel rim to bend and collapse instantly.

To make a single spoke strong enough to hold up a vehicle, it would need to be massively thick and heavy, defeating any performance benefits.

It serves as a hilarious, real-world lesson in why wheel designers stick to multi-spoke and split-spoke structural geometry.

Would you ever risk testing an experimental custom wheel design on your own project car?

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
