Looks like a revised version of an old idea. Some years ago (at least ten) a design for a wheel was shown in the Eureka periodical. The video seems to show the same "V" shaped spring spokes, but the rim seems more flexible and the hub is larger. The design in Eureka deliberately had a small hub, as the wheel was meant for off-road use and when hitting an obstacle the spokes would wind up and raise the bearing height within the wheel, as a wheel cannot climb over an obstacle higher than the bearing.
