I hope Honda knows what they're doing with this thing,
because I sure don't. How do the wheels roll? And how
did they make the front hub invisible?

They call it an orbital or hubless wheel. There are quite a few

Well, I sort of figured that part out... but it looks
as though the tire (at least the front tire) is part
of the frame. Maybe it's just a trick of the disco style
lighting. Either that or it works by anti-gravity.
