Trek is introducing two bicycle models this holiday season that are chainless and use technology most often found in motorcycles and snowmobiles, reports the Associated Press. While some smaller custom bike makers have used them before, Trek is the first to use the technology for mass-produced bicycles.
Trek is hoping to capitalize on a new group of urban pedal-pushers who are trading their cars for a more low-tech way to get around because of gas prices as well as health and environmental concerns.
