Traditionally that's the trailing spokes' job but I wonder if there's some kind of hybrid system going on here. All the spokes on one side seems to imply radial lacing which does a terrible job at transferring torque.

If you decide that you don't want to ride them, I'd love to see what's inside!

If anything, you might get some funky hub parts to keep on your desk

Also, regarding their safety, I'm not sure I would trust the front blindly, but as for the rear...I would have a hard time not throwing it on for a quick little spin. It's just the rear wheel, a failure probably won't be that big of a deal... Just wear a helmet and run a front brake
