I'm not sure what's being said about, "1989 Built first bicycle with full suspension...," but the first bike with full suspension is the Bianchi "Bersaglieria" of 1915, made for the Italian military bicycle corps, optionally outfitted with mortar or machine gun rack.
Interesting. However, you fair to realize that the tendency to go over the handlebars is because of weight transfer to the front wheel, which a classical suspension makes a bit worse. You seem to have developed a anti-dive front suspension, which is very cool, but it will go over the handlebars just as easily as any rigid-fork bike out there (which is quite easy).
Making a ABS system would eliminate that, but that is close to impossible.
What CAD software is that? get yourself Solidworks...
Looks to me like the axle of the front wheel is way in front of the actual pivoting point.
As a result if you lean into a corner, the combined weight of bike and rider will push it to the opposite side.
Whoever rides this will have to overcome that tendency in every single corner. It'll be quite tiring on the arm muscles. Not to mention that you really need to keep a hand on the handlebars at all times.
I have never seen such a convoluted piece of crap. This bike is way over-engineered. It's is sad because it looks like someone devoted their life to it. I am an inventor and engineer and I too found that the hardest lesson to learn is perspective and accepting peer review and criticism. If these steps were taken, this would have never left the drawing board.
im not raining on your parade or anything but i was just wondering what the point of the bike is and the goals you are trying to acomplish with this new design other than looking radically different
holy ugly batman, that bike got worst in design over time, I hope it works better than a normal bike otherwise all this time working on that project seems like a huge waste of time.
For more details about this new bicycle concept - Ellipse Sf-X - you may want to watch the other posted videos on youtube under same user. As far as buying one like it unfortunately will not be so easy. At this moment is just an unique working prototype available. It can be sold but for a huge amount of money.
Doctore...ai cel mai tare video din tot ce exista pe acest sit. As dori mai multe amanunte despre ECLIPSE BIKE , si de unde se poate cumpara. Multumesc , DAN .
great work, man! i know you've come a long way to reach this point; you are so close to success, so don't give up now, 'cause there is no way back; i love this bike and i am desperately looking forward to riding one - maybe the first series model will be mine :)
i would break it just like my last maintainbike, :s
lightness is no point when u jam ur fronfork into 2 pieces :p

Gave up watching the video, talk about over egging the pudding. If the machine/device performs anything like the video it will be total rubbish.

Way too much hype. Very dramatic. Your ego is showing

That's almost too dangerous to drive.

People keep trying to re-invent the bike. Full suspension bikes have been around for over a hundred years.

I like to keep an open mind: what is the point of making a heavy, overcomplicated, inefficient front suspension ?

Of all the freak bikes I've seen on YT this is the one I do not understand. What's the fuzz about?

Nice shape - to tuck LiPo batteries in
Designing something - with the harsh disciplines of mass production - there is a challenge

The design is great and you have a lot to be proud of. But do somthing about the depressingly long - low info vids. It's like death by Powerpoint!

Too much of a video show and almost nothing of the bike itself, improve your presentation...show the bike, not the inventor.

Wow! A brilliant idea, very good construction and excellent work! If you want, you take a look at my selfmade recumbent....
