My guess is that they physically drive the rear tire itself, which is impractical and would increase tire wear heavily, methinks.

There are ways that I can think of to NOT do it that way but the pictures don't give away what they actually did here.

edit: since it's just a one-off chopper and probably barely ever gets ridden I would expect they took the easy way out and drive the tire like I said.

BTW...love the shit you're posting lately. Keep up the good work.

Well, it's mostly regurgitation from other forums, but I figured if I was sick of all the bullshit threads popping up all over the place I might as well contribute something worth clicking on.

It wasn't designed to be ridden, as stated in the article...
