Might take a little bit of the jolt out of those solid rubber "tires", eh?

There is a section of road in our town that is just wavy enough that it causes my touring car to get a regular bucking motion to it as I drive along. I wonder if these would amplify the rhythm of that?

Here’s another version of suspension wheels. Elliptical spokes like leaf springs! Bouncy Bounce.

Take a close look- it's sprung at the hub and not at the spokes!

I noticed that! Looks like I see a shock absorber to.
