Yep, they're called hubless bikes.
Reevo's ebikes do this and use the space in the middle for possible luggage.

this looks cool on the surface but i wonder about so many issues. is it harder to fix a punctured tire? why not a conventional baggage holder in front or above the back wheel? what happens if the fingerprint scanner breaks? their claim that it is harder to steal makes me laugh. 99% of bike thefts don’t happen because the perpetrator is looking for a bike to use, they simply throw a bunch of locked bikes in a truck and scrap them for parts in another country.
Lmao, they use solid tires. Probably because of how hard it is to replace a punctured tube on a wheel like this. Solid tires have no bounce, so in turn with a rigid wheel you get a rigid tire. So no cushioning. You get every bump and bounce of the road right in to the frame.
