Back
in 2006 I was approached by Norwegian robotics engineer
Peer Toftner, founder of
Veon Motorcycles, to be a partner in the engineering of
a motorcycle that could morph from cruiser to racer.
Peer
had already started working on the idea and had even patented
it already. Brainstorming together we decided to make
rake, trail, wheelbase, ground clearance and sitting position
adjustable while riding. Quite a challenge!
I
did the CAD design & engineering for the adjustable
frame mechanism and Fred Krugger built the first prototype
and designed the sheetmetal, pipes and dual footcontrols.
At this moment the bike is in Sturgis competing in the
AMD World Championship of Custombike building, more news
as soon as possible! |
