landing gear on a fazer

[His Dudeness]

Check out videos on the Peraves Ecomobile. I believe they use a Starter motor to deploy the wheels. Got to be cheaper than pneumatics and looks just as fast.

i was thinking i could use 12v electric actuators if the pneumatic system was too dear. but that ecomobile is pretty cool. i'll have a closer look at that.

With all the potholes around there is no system which would be 100% safe  :'(


May be better off with a 3 wheeler??

thats true potholes are a problem and that will have to be considered in the design. but the way im looking at it is if you anyone is riding along on a normal bike and they stop and put their foot into a pot hole they're going to fall over. its just the nature of a two wheeled vehicle. the rider just has to plan ahead and ride according to the conditions of the road.
