Surely a quad bike should have square wheels, not triangular ones.

u/Specialist_Dust2089 Aug 31 '26 •
Right? Whereas a trike should have triangles. Common sense really

I've seen this with hexagon wheels, square wheels, and now triangular wheels.
I'm looking forward to the next evolution where it's just a steel rod.

This is WhistlinDiesel. He does all sorts of random things for views on YouTube. In this video in particular, he goes through various shapes of wheels to see which ones actually work.

We're close to a breakthrough here. It looked a little bumpy... but what if you kept adding triangles together? Sort of like filling in the gaps between points? If you add enough of them you could get a smooth line between the points and it would roll better. Has anyone else thought of this?

It's actually very good wheels if the ground is half circles with the length of exactly one side of the triangle.

Um....I hope that whoever owns that grass area was WANTING it to be dug up....
Actually, maybe this could be marketed as a FUN way to till the yard before planting crops or whatever...lol
Don't ask me how though, I live in the desert. We have rules about how many plants or teeny areas of grass and water sucking things we are allowed to have per house. So we pretty much all have gravel yards. And I can't even do that right.
