Consider, if you will, this was the origin of bike drive trains. We all used it. It was on every bike, everywhere.

You'd laugh him out of the room.

For sure this is old tech. Motorbikes have tried it in the past. Cars obviously. I wonder if it has more potential because there's less torque.
Durability is also an issue. The moment that wheel is slight untrue, it's going to throw the whole system off. That's why I think it would work best on a track or more sterile environment.
I added a few detail photos.
