Enter Christini Bicycles , a pioneering American company that dared to challenge the single-drive standard by developing a proprietary, patented All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system for bicycles and motorcycles.

Instead, it uses a genius system of internal shafts and gears: Power Diverted: A small percentage of the rider’s pedaling power is taken from the rear hub.

High; requires frequent cleaning and oiling. Cleanliness Comple...
