Engineering points for opposing teeth orientation - forward grip on the back wheel for accelerating, backwards on the front wheel for breaking. I like it.

Also grip for steering. Backwards facing teeth on the front wheel would just end up skidding a lot of the time and make the bike impossible to turn. Is there a video of this thing in action somewhere?

There is indeed a video of this.

There's also a video of someone trying a similar setup with a dirt bike, though those guys didn't reverse the front teeth (did still steer ok, not sure how well it'd brake).

The meme above is better because the front saw is facing the correct direction for stopping.

Judas Priest! Maybe the OP has just A Touch of Evil.

you must be something special; they didn't even give me a warning and they didn't say anything at all, just an immediately reddit style shadow ban. lol
