MetricUSA Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 This is the best and simplest design I can come up with.... Sorry but it's freehand... It uses two shoulder bolts, brass bushing, four springs according close to your wieght... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gormash Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I quite honestly don't understand how that drawing is supposed to be read. Is it top-down or from the side? Which part is the wheel? Which are the pedals? Don't mean to troll you, I just think you need to include some written guidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirsute Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 These type of suspensions were on some rockwheel. But i don't think that it was a good system because it doesn't exist on the next rockwheel GT16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left part is from the side, right part is after 90º turn from the front or back. The upper rectangle you could consider the padding, the lower rectangle is the pedal.

I wouldn't write it completely off yet, but I would say that currently pretty much all manufacturers have to worry about other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughthammer Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 You want to implement some dampers. Just springs will just make you bounce around the place, possibly off your wheel. It has to be sturdy, yet low friction while suspending your body weight on a 1:3 lever. Not easy to make that work. I would try to get soem dampening pads on the pedals as first measure... Or if you want a proper suspension, do it properly, and suspend the whole Body of the EUC from the wheel. would of course increase body height, as room for spring displacement is needed. Techically, you would have to constuct something simmilar to a bike suspension fork, and construct the EUC around it. Just a quick idea, but the more I think of it, the more I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
