What is spoked?

wheels

Spoked wheels are wheels that are made up of a center hub, spokes, and a rim. The spokes are thin, strong rods that radiate out from the center hub and are attached to the rim of the wheel. The purpose of the spokes is to distribute the weight of the vehicle evenly across the wheel, and to absorb the shock of bumps and rough terrain.

Spoked wheels were first developed in ancient times and were used on chariots and carts. They are still used today on a variety of vehicles including bicycles, motorcycles, and some cars. In addition to their structural benefits, spoked wheels are also aesthetically pleasing and can add a classic or vintage look to a vehicle.

Spoked wheels are typically lighter in weight than solid wheels, which can improve the overall performance of a vehicle. However, they can require more maintenance due to the need to periodically check and adjust the tension of the spokes. In addition, spoked wheels may not be as strong as solid wheels in extreme conditions, such as off-road or racing situations.
