Alright so there’s lots of men out there who buy a motorcycle and feel edgy, what makes me so special? Well for starters it’s not just a toy or a vanity project it’s my primary source of transportation, yep even in the winter and when it rains. Why? Primarily because I got into motorcycling after bicycling all over the DMV, I love bicycling and still hop on my bike whenever I can, but I needed to travel farther and farther for work so I tried out a bike I didn’t have to peddle. The experience I’ve gained is particularly relevant as eBikes start to gain popularity. eBikes are awesome they help fill some pretty ridiculous gaps in our transportation ecosystem, but riders are susceptible to many of the same risks us motorcycle riders are so I want to be a resource to everyone who wants to try out life on two wheels, whatever type of vehicle you may choose I want to help you pilot it safely in any condition. Additionally after working on Internal Combustion vehicles off and on my whole life I’ve got some ideas for how to design electric vehicles that don’t feel like an appliance, so stay tuned for those too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ad3a95a1bb9e2faf1e35ba/24086873-764f-4b09-9b0d-d1012873f2f7/1Asset+1-250.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ad3a95a1bb9e2faf1e35ba/1664132695638-18JP88CT89AA3JPXF1GS/img20220322_10292816.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ad3a95a1bb9e2faf1e35ba/1664132112184-KXFK5H047LN5AR9GN3SI/Contact+Breaker+Points.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ad3a95a1bb9e2faf1e35ba/1641186581459-X1JRKPQZNQ4QMPGZECPO/Suziki+300cc+IC+Engine+Diagram+White+background.png Portfolio The Internal Combustion Energy Cycle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ad3a95a1bb9e2faf1e35ba/1641147680157-IUX8LLSPVZMRGZRXWQ2A/Gyrobus%2B12-2021.jpg Portfolio The Gyrobus uses a three-ton flywheel to store energy, an electric bus with no batteries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ad3a95a1bb9e2faf1e35ba/6c251b7a-85f3-46df-85c8-eda5e962a4de/20210415_004823.jpg Portfolio This device makes the explosion in a engine happen ever so slightly earlier, however a device like this is only used in older mechanical ignition timing systems, because with a computerized system a line of code can perform the same function. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ad3a95a1bb9e2faf1e35ba/9d6987a4-6400-4e12-920f-c8391b32b175/Caterham+7_200807+%282%29.jpg Portfolio Cathram, a Kit-Car from the UK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ad3a95a1bb9e2faf1e35ba/7959cba4-085c-432e-b8f1-669667e10926/GSXR+750.jpg Portfolio '87 Suzuki GSXR750 [Air-Cooled} https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ad3a95a1bb9e2faf1e35ba/67b8df62-6f88-4699-b8f6-b1d23d428108/20210407_093407.jpg Portfolio Three cylinder engines are so intriguing.
