An unusual kind of steering with a practical aplication. Eleiminating the head tube ontop of the wheel will give you more room for ladders, plywood and the likes across the top of the wheel.

However this wimpy titainium bike is not the right aplication. The motorcycle is; I need one with pedals so I won't need to pay for insurance! Liability insurance on motorcycle is a scam!

Hub based steering mechanisms are an old concept, they were used on some of the first trikes long ago.
