Spoked Wheel

A spoked wheel consists of a central hub connected to the outer rim by multiple radial spokes. These spokes transfer the load and forces from the rim, where the tire contacts the ground, to the hub, which is attached to the vehicle's axle. The design distributes weight evenly and provides strength while keeping the wheel lightweight. The tension in the spokes helps maintain the shape of the wheel, absorbing shocks and stresses during movement. This structure is widely used in bicycles, motorcycles, and traditional wheels because it combines durability, efficiency, and ease of repair.
