Can you imagine how much this thing would flop around while you are pedaling? I've got a bike with rear suspension and it wastes so much pedal energy flopping around.

Look at the link. That's actually the point of this setup, to almost completely eliminate pedal flopping.

Solved.

Even better, in theory the setup goes in the other direction - reduces wheel pop under torque on irregular surface without an elliptical sprocket.

Plus, you know, it's suspension.

Complicate and add Frenchness: when Germanic overthinking lacks that certain je nais se quois.

There are so many better ideas for doing that right now. (assuming you mean pedal bob) such as IPV valves, VPP, zero sag setups and rockered 4 bar. This is a complicated kludge of the highest order. My blur would perform just as well in their test as their pastry and its 10 years old.

But this is overcomplicated in a perverse way, therefore cool.

I got my bike for free. That's why I ride it on the street.

Unless you have a doctorate in a related field.
