Sure, I’d start by keeping the basic shape – a solid wooden rim and a hub – but swap that for a steel axle and a composite wheel rim to keep the strength. I’d bolt a low‑profile steel disc to the center, use modern bearings to reduce friction, and add a rubber tire for grip. Then I’d fit the whole thing to a lightweight chassis, maybe a kit car, so the wood adds a touch of character without killing performance. If the engine’s too big, I’d just keep the wheel on a motorcycle or go for a custom golf cart build. That way, the ancient idea lives on with a modern punch.
