Captive breeding programs of
parva rota erucae suspensionis moultonis moultonis (nominate species) over the past 50 years has radically altered the form of the original species... seen here is the moultonis M3 which is standing in front of the moultonis TSR2.
Archeologists have uncovered the skeletal remains of
parva rota erucae suspensionis moultonis m2 in many countries around the world which shows they had a wide distribution, this one was discovered in Alberta Canada and is a very close relative of the
moultonis moultonis or "m1".
Professional Bikeologists are in the process of reconstructing these remains and looking into discovering the secrets of this rather uncommon species that does not appear to have any ability to fold. It is thought the evolution of a suspension stems from them developing in areas of rougher terrain where the added traction and control allowed them to outmaneuver other competitors.
There is also some speculation that this was a predatory species who's high speed allowed it to pursue and capture much larger prey.
