Something tells me that would wear you out in a hurry, but I'd give it a shot.

I agree, it would be a chore to get somewhere with it.

Looks cool though.

Its definately different, I don't think I would try. Its a heck of a conversation piece though! I can see it being a quandary and thought provoking to thousands of people.

Would you ride this?

Ummmm...... I don't see how one could.

Calculations show it takes 12.3 HP to move those tires

As for the chain, if you look very closely at the bottom of the sprocket, I believe you will see one.
